In the Machining Working Group, scientists and users from university research as well as industrial practice from the sectors of machine tool building, tool making as well as numerous users work together. The focus of the machining working group is the exciting machining of CFRP structures. Other machining processes such as laser machining, waterjet cutting, eroding or related processes are also dealt with here.
Among the topics covered by the machining working group are:
- Evaluation of machining quality
- Approaches to improving CFRP machining
- Consideration of machine and process peripherals (for example, approaches and solutions for the extraction of CFRP dust and chips, machine encapsulation, covering/sealing)
- Consideration of different cooling lubrication concepts for CFRP machining such as flooding, minimum quantity lubrication, air cooling and cryogenic cooling as well as evaluation of cooling lubricants
- Clamping devices and fixtures
- Measurement technology (process monitoring, quality control)
Objectives of the Working Group Machining:
- Networking between the players in the field of CFRP machining
- Exchange of experience within the branches but also between the branches of the machine tool industry and the research institutes
- Identification of problems and development of possible solutions
- Definition, application and implementation of projects from the circle of the working group
- Compilation of consortia for large projects
- Agreement/discussion of quality parameters – Preparation for standardization
- Provision of a large knowledge platform around the machining of CFRP
