Vision
Development of ultra-short, forming-based process chains for the production of powertrain components (toothing, shafts, connecting rods etc.): Saving energy, materials and weight and improving component properties
Implementation
Development and testing of more energy and resource-efficient single processes and process chains (replacing energy-intensive machining processes with more efficient forming processes, lightweight construction concepts, process development)
Demonstration units
- Ultra-short forming-based reference process chain: Component demonstration unit for toothed gearbox shaft
- Process chains for optimizing hollow shafts and toothing
- Test benches for micro-structuring of surfaces (specific influencing of aspects such as tribology, sealing and joining technologies and haptics)
