        Bonding technology

        Bonding-friendly constructions and applications in practice

        by Tim Jüntgen

        For many applications, bonding technology represents a reliable and economical alternative to established and traditional joining processes. Among other things, it offers the best prerequisites for the consistent realization of resilient lightweight constructions, which are becoming increasingly important in today's world as a result of increasing mobility and the sustainable conservation of resources. From the content: Manufacturing processes, joining processes and connection types Basics, technology of gluing Structure, classification and types of adhesives Bonding of metallic and non-metallic materials Selected examples of concrete applications in bonding technology Testing and quality assurance Bonding in combination with other joining processes (hybrid joining) Further information / updates in the free online service This technical book provides design engineers and adhesive users with assistance for the conception, design and implementation of bondings.

        Development and construction for additive manufacturing

        Principles and methods for use in industrial end customer products

        by Klahn, Meboldt, Fontana, Leutenecker-Twelsieck, Jansen

        The entry into the additive manufacturing (AM) of serial and end customer parts is a challenge for many companies: standards, dimensioning bases, design methods, technical-economic calculation bases, CAD tools and experience for the development of additive serial and end customer parts still not exist for the most part or are not established. Industrial enterprises that have the goal to develop additively manufactured end customer parts are quickly faced with similar questions. With practice-oriented methods and examples, the book addresses these questions: Which AM methods are available and which are suitable for industrial end-user components? (Section 2) How can AM processes be combined with conventional production? (Section 3) What is the digital process chain? (Section 4) What is the quality of AM components and how can they be tested? (Section 5) What is the cost structure of AM components? (Section 6) What are established application fields for AM? (Section 7) How can potential-free components and application fields of the AM be identified? (Section 8) How are components designed for AM optimally? (Section 9) What are examples of successfully implemented AM end-user components? (Section 10) What are the steps by which AM can successfully be implemented in the company? (Section 11) The book is a basic work for the industrial development and construction of additively manufactured series and end customer parts, by providing practical methods and knowledge, which support a successful implementation of additive processes in companies. In addition to new methods and procedures, the book demonstrates the possibilities of implementation by means of a large number of successful product examples from the industry.

        Industrial Robots

        Planning - Integration – Trends

        by Gunther Reinhart, Alejandro Magaña Flores, Carola Zwicker

        Due to their flexibility and economic efficiency, industrial robots have proven to be a key technology in various areas along the production chain. Current developments in production show that robots are increasingly able to replace established technologies in many manufacturing, assembly and logistics processes. It is not without reason that, in addition to large companies such as automobile manufacturers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have also begun to include industrial robots in their production processes. This book is a handbook for SMEs with tips and tricks on the use of robots. The most important fundamentals of robotics are taught and methods are explained how to evaluate whether a product or process can be automated by using robots. Here, not only the technical features but also safety-relevant points and economic aspects are considered. In addition to feasibility, the size and risk of an investment for SMEs is an important basis for a decision. How can the robot be sensibly integrated into production? What needs to be taken into account when planning new and redesigning existing buildings? This book presents the individual planning steps in detail and explains them with examples. The free online service InfoClick provides checklists and templates for the individual steps in line with the most important steps. From the content: Basics of industrial robotics Technical feasibility feasibility study Conception and planning assimilation trends Further information / updates in the online service
