Purchase of a milling centre within the Hochschulpakt 2020

As part of the funding program “Hochschulpakt 2020” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and together with the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools, the machine park was modernized with a new 5-axis-CNC-milling machine DMF180|7 from DMG MORI.

In occasion of the 5 th Workshop Machine Hammer Peening at the Institute for Production Engineering and Forming Machines (PtU) on November 2 nd and 3 rd , 43 participants interested in the technology of Machine Hammer Peening came together to discuss the latest achievements and developments in the field of automated surface modification.

From 4 th to 7 th September, the annual meeting of the International Cold Forging Group (ICFG) took place in Stuttgart. This event offers with numerous workshops, industry-related and scientific presentations a platform for the exchange of innovations in cold forging.

At the beginning of the year the research project FricON: Advanced friction consideration in sheet metal forming simulation was completed successfully. The two-year-project was funded by the Hessen Agentur.

On 3 rd November 2016, the 5 th Workshop Machine Hammer Peening will take place in Darmstadt. This Workshop serves as a platform for the exchange of participants interested in the technology of machine hammer peening and takes place in annual turns at TU Darmstadt, TU Vienna, RWTH Aachen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

On 20 th February 2017, the “Institut für Fertigungsforschung e. V.” and the Institute for Production Engineering and Forming Machines organize the “10 th Symposium on Roll Forming” in Darmstadt, Germany.

At the 21 st of February 2017 the Institute for Production Engineering and Forming Machines organizes the “Manufacturing Integrated Design – Final Colloquium CRC 666” in Darmstadt, Germany.

The requested resources for the third period of the priority program 1640 (SPP1640), which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), have been granted. We are pleased to continue together with 14 projects the cooperation in the research field of joining by forming.

During a three-week internship at the PtU three pupils from the Goethe-Gymnasium Frankfurt got an insight into the scientific activities at a research institute at a university.

At this year's EuroBLECH in Hanover, the Institute for Production Engineering and Forming Machines as well as the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 666 will be presented with a stand. Thus, interested listeners of the PtU master lectures are given the opportunity to participate in a free excursion to the exhibition on the 26th of October.
