Although the feasibility of automated alignment of laser optics has been shown in research labs, the development effort for the automation of assembly does not meet economic requirements - especially for low-volume laser production. This paper presents a model-based and sensor-integrated assembly execution approach for flexible assembly cells consisting of a macro-positioner covering a large workspace and a compact micromanipulator with camera attached to the positioner. In order to make full use of available models from computer-aided design (CAD) and optical simulation, sensor systems at different levels of accuracy are used for matching perceived information with model data. This approach is named "chain of refined perception", and it allows for automated planning of complex assembly tasks along all major phases of assembly such as collision-free path planning, part feeding, and active and passive alignment. The focus of the paper is put on the in-process image-based metrology and information extraction used for identifying and calibrating local coordinate systems as well as the exploitation of that information for a part feeding process for micro-optics. Results will be presented regarding the processes of automated calibration of the robot camera as well as the local coordinate systems of part feeding area and robot base.}, language = {en} } @article{Pfaff2023, author = {Pfaff, Raphael}, title = {Braking distance prediction for vehicle consist in low-speed on-sight operation: a Monte Carlo approach}, series = {Railway Engineering Science}, volume = {31}, journal = {Railway Engineering Science}, number = {2}, publisher = {SpringerOpen}, issn = {2662-4753 (eISSN)}, doi = {10.1007/s40534-023-00303-7}, pages = {135 -- 144}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The first and last mile of a railway journey, in both freight and transit applications, constitutes a high effort and is either non-productive (e.g. in the case of depot operations) or highly inefficient (e.g. in industrial railways). These parts are typically managed on-sight, i.e. with no signalling and train protection systems ensuring the freedom of movement. This is possible due to the rather short braking distances of individual vehicles and shunting consists. The present article analyses the braking behaviour of such shunting units. For this purpose, a dedicated model is developed. It is calibrated on published results of brake tests and validated against a high-definition model for low-speed applications. Based on this model, multiple simulations are executed to obtain a Monte Carlo simulation of the resulting braking distances. Based on the distribution properties and established safety levels, the risk of exceeding certain braking distances is evaluated and maximum braking distances are derived. Together with certain parameters of the system, these can serve in the design and safety assessment of driver assistance systems and automation of these processes.}, language = {en} } @article{FeldmannPakGessleretal.2006, author = {Feldmann, Markus and Pak, Daniel and Geßler, Achim and Dilthey, Ulrich and Schleser, Markus}, title = {Bonded connections for textile reinforced concrete structures}, series = {Cailiao-gongcheng = Journal of materials engineering}, journal = {Cailiao-gongcheng = Journal of materials engineering}, number = {Special iss.}, issn = {1001-4381}, pages = {123 -- 127}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{KesslerBalcGebhardtetal.2015, author = {Kessler, Julia and Balc, Nicolae and Gebhardt, Andreas and Abbas, Karim}, title = {Basic Research on Lattice Structures Focused on the Tensile Strength}, series = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, volume = {Vol. 808}, journal = {Applied Mechanics and Materials}, publisher = {Trans Tech Publications}, address = {B{\"a}ch}, issn = {1662-7482}, doi = {10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.808.193}, pages = {193 -- 198}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{EnningMannBolligetal.2003, author = {Enning, Manfred and Mann, S. and Bollig, A. and Kaierle, S.}, title = {Autonomous Production Cell for Laser Beam Welding / Mann S. ; Bollig, A. ; Kaierle, S. ; Abel, D. ; Poprawe, R.}, publisher = {LIA}, address = {Orlando, Fla}, isbn = {0912035757}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{EnningBernhardRake1994, author = {Enning, Manfred and Bernhard, S. and Rake, H.}, title = {Automation of a laboratory plant for direct casting of thin steel strips / Bernhard, S. ; Enning, M. ; Rake, H.}, series = {Control Engineering Practice. 2 (1994), H. 6}, journal = {Control Engineering Practice. 2 (1994), H. 6}, isbn = {0967-0661}, pages = {961 -- 967}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{KaemperLehrAbeletal.1995, author = {K{\"a}mper, Klaus-Peter and Lehr, H. and Abel, S. and Ehrfeld, W.}, title = {Assembly of Electromagnetic Milliactuators with LIGA Components.

Additive manufacturing using Fused Filament Fabrication and high-performance polymers like PEEK offer a promising future in this industry. This study assesses the compressive strength of various infill structures (honeycomb, grid, triangle, cubic, and gyroid) when considering two distinct build directions (Z, XY) to enhance PEEK's economic and resource efficiency in rapid tooling. A comparison with PETG samples shows the behavior of the infill strategies. Additionally, a proof of concept illustrates the application of a PEEK mold in vulcanization. A peak compressive strength of 135.6 MPa was attained in specimens that were 100\% solid and subjected to thermal post-treatment. This corresponds to a 20\% strength improvement in the Z direction. In terms of time and mechanical properties, the anisotropic grid and isotropic cubic infill have emerged for use in rapid tooling. Furthermore, the study highlights that reducing the layer thickness from 0.15 mm to 0.1 mm can result in a 15\% strength increase. The study unveils the successful utilization of a room-temperature FFF-printed PEEK mold in vulcanization injection molding. The parameters and infill strategies identified in this research enable the resource-efficient FFF printing of PEEK without compromising its strength properties. Using PEEK in rapid tooling allows a cost reduction of up to 70\% in tool production.}, language = {en} } @article{KaemperPicardSchuetzeetal.2006, author = {K{\"a}mper, Klaus-Peter and Picard, A. and Sch{\"u}tze, A. and Wallach, D.}, title = {Adopting the Foundry Concept of Semiconductor Fabrication on Educational Schemes and the Virtual Technology Lab (VTL).

The rotor blades of a wind turbine are typically made from composite material, which withstands high forces during rotation. The huge dimensions of the rotor blades complicate the inspection processes in manufacturing. The automation of inspection processes has a great potential to increase the overall productivity and to create a consistent reliable database for each individual rotor blade. The focus of this paper is set on the process of rotor blade inspection automation by utilizing an autonomous mobile manipulator. The main innovations include a novel path planning strategy for zone-based navigation, which enables an intuitive right-hand or left-hand driving behavior in a shared human-robot workspace. In addition, we introduce a new method for surface orthogonal motion planning in connection with large-scale structures. An overall execution strategy controls the navigation and manipulation processes of the long-running inspection task. The implemented concepts are evaluated in simulation and applied in a real-use case including the tip of a rotor blade form.}, language = {en} } @article{PfaffEnningSutter2022, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Enning, Manfred and Sutter, Stefan}, title = {A risk‑based approach to automatic brake tests for rail freight service: incident analysis and realisation concept}, series = {SN Applied Sciences}, volume = {4}, journal = {SN Applied Sciences}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2523-3971}, doi = {10.1007/s42452-022-05007-x}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study reviews the practice of brake tests in freight railways, which is time consuming and not suitable to detect certain failure types.
