Control of uncertainty in linked machining processes at the example of a power train component (T04*)

• Subject Area: Metal-Cutting and Abrasive Manufacturing Engineering
• Term: from 2017 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 57157498

The transfer project pursues the objective to apply the developed methods and models of Collaborative Research Centres for description and control of uncertainty at the process chain drilling/reaming to an uncertainty afflicted multilevel process chain. In the range of the power train the machining of valve train components represents such a sequence of linked processes. In order to control uncertainty and guarantee process reliability in such a process chain a holistic approach including all necessary machining processes needs to be applied. Out of it a proper choice of machining strategies and tool concepts can be made.
