Linking Modules for Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

  • Conference paper
Manufacturing Systems and Technologies for the New Frontier

Abstract

Within the framework of a Transfer Unit supported by the German Research Foundation, the IfW (Institute for Machine Tools) of the Universität Stuttgart is developing new designs for the linkage of manufacturing systems for its partners, the company Krauseco Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH and Daimler AG. Based on the requirements on a reconfigurable production line with new innovative machine concepts, an interlinked production unit for the machining of parts such as connecting rods or cylinder heads has been developed from several so-called “inverse kinematics machines” and an innovative linking module.
