Pilot projects
The research areas Surface Engineering, Machining Systems, and New Materials serve as the foundation for pilot projects, expanding Centre X’s knowledge base.
Surface Engineering
- Functional Surfaces definition and practical usages
- Processes for surface generation
- Surface Characterisation - measurement
Machining Systems:
- On-machine measurements of part and machine to reduce the need for offline metrology room inspections
- Digitalisation and data Management for collecting and data storage.
- Reliability (OEE, condition monitoring) and performance (cost, throughput and quality)
Machining and new materials:
- Material: SGI/CGI
- Cutting parameters and tool selection
- Process optimisation and monitoring
- Cleanliness and cutting fluids/MQL
