Processes, tools and high-performance components for cutting and removal
Current challenges in production technology comprise designing processes to be more resource-efficient, more energy-efficient and more reliable. Furthermore, the manufactured components shall possess additional effects such as less friction, lower wear or consumption. As a result, our field of action is highly complex, ranging from energetic evaluations of manufacturing processes to designing resource-efficient process chains, extending process limits and developing process combinations or substituting operations, developing specific tools and machine technology.
