Increasing demands for greater efficiency and sustainability are constantly posing new challenges for production technology. The focus is therefore on increasing productivity and optimizing process control, which in turn requires modern machine and tool technologies. The focus here is on separating manufacturing processes, rolling technologies, forming technologies and also joining technologies. The examination of material properties, process parameters, tool and machine concepts allows the methodical development of optimization scenarios. Finally, an intensive, systematic examination of process chains and knowledge transfer in the areas of control, coordination and tool use enables the methodical consideration, analysis and design of any system interlinking.

Excursions are carried out as required to accompany the course.

1. Fundamentals and interrelationships -> Manufacturing processes, manufacturing technologies, efficiency, sustainability

2. Process-specific requirements for machines and tools, systems for single-part production

3. Mechanical presses, hydraulic forming machines, characteristics of machine tools, structural design, design variants, areas of application

4. Forming -> Mechanisms of plastic deformation, flow curves and formability, plasticity theory, friction, machine and tool technology, process chains, hot forming vs. cold forming

5. Manufacturing techniques in industrial process chains -> Linking production and manufacturing processes, coordination and control of processes, technical availability, economic considerations

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination or
• oral exam

• Field work / Experimental work

Students recognize the field of forming technology as a complex system of material science, plastomechanical, process and information technology elements.

They have detailed, comprehensive knowledge of the fundamentals of materials science and plasticity theory, the process engineering of sheet metal, hot and cold forming as well as the latest tool technology with its special material and production problems. You will master the mathematical and experimental investigation methods for describing the accuracy behavior of forming machines under load and for designing automation.

Students use computer-aided analysis methods based on product CAD data to define the overall forming process in the preparatory, forming and post-processing steps. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of the operation sequence.

Using the latest CAE software tools, students are able to work on the central tasks of forming companies - method planning, tool design and the integration of forming processes into productive value chains. You will plan product and process optimizations taking into account the entire product development chain. You will be able to present and defend the results in meetings.
