A glimpse at the Mechanical Lab
Applied research and development in connection with practice-relevant training of students is the task and the goal of the mLab. The work in the laboratory includes the areas of materials testing, measurement technology and production technology. Besides the testing of certain material properties, it is also possible to execute the 3D measurements (qualifying and certifying) of complicated work pieces, tactile and optical digitalisation of free form surfaces and the processing of surface data.
A focal point of the mechanical laboratory is the handling of the most complicated turned and milled parts. A serial and parallel-kinematical CNC milling centre is available for 5-axis processing, and a CNC roll turning lathe machine with driven tools is available for the processing of rotationally symmetric parts.
You can produce, transfer and provide data throughout the process from its incorporation in the CAD software to the computer-assisted development of NC programmes in the CAM software and reverse engineering.
