Process Monitoring and Control of Machining Operations

Monitoring and assessment of pollutants resulting from bench-blasting operations

Nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide gases together with dust are known as the major pollutants arising during the blasting operations using the ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) explosive at the Sungun surface mine, located in the northwest of Iran. The pollutants were monitored during some blasting operations at the mine. It was concluded that the gases and dust clouds initially went up to the ...

Distributed Machining Control and Monitoring

The study of smart sensors and actuators led, during the past few years, to the development of facilities which improve traditional sensors and actuators in a necessary way to automate production systems. In an other context, many studies are carried out aiming at defining a decisional structure for production activity control and the increasing need of reactivity leads to the autonomization of...

Abrasive machining of advanced technical ceramics

The high cost of ceramic components can be associated with complex and time-consuming postmachining, which is currently done by using abrasive machining processes. The IWF and Fraunhofer-IPK are undertaking research activities in the field of abrasive machining which aim at developing and optimizing technologies to expand the application field and to increase productivity of high-performance ma...
