Measuring chambers are required for integration in a semi-automated production plant. The chambers must be completely enclosed and blacked out for the use of 3D camera systems. The products to be inspected are to be transferred to the chamber using automated guided vehicle systems...

Intelligent software independently learns to detect, distinguish between and rate optical defects. The system described inspects small lacquered parts in a cycle. It also automates the quality assurance process in the production of small parts. The fact that the software can even see the faults is...

Problem definition
Two machines in a pipe machining process need to be interlinked. Trimmed pipe pieces need to be transported to the next machine where they can be stamped. The pipe pieces are oily and have sharp edges. The interlink system must open to allow vehicles and transport boxes to pass...

Problem definition
A modular and flexible process and systems concept was required for a research project. Metal foils needed to be coated with electrode material for the production of lithium-ion batteries. Aluminium or copper is used as the substrate, depending on whether cathodes or anodes are...

Problem definition
A process and a system for coating metal foils needed to be developed for a research and development project. The metal foils are used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. After coating, the foil must be dried before it can be calendered and rewound into a coil. The...

Problem definition
Two machining stations in a plastic canister production process need to be interlinked. The solution has to cope with inconvenient spatial constraints: Empty canisters need to be conveyed along a curve and past another machine so that they can be brought back to the original feed...

Problem definition
A hood for extracting dust particles is required for the production of laboratory equipment. The contour as well as the inputs and outputs are specified by the customer. The hood must be equipped with a suction nozzle for an extraction system provided by the customer. It must also...
