Integrated framework for a cost-effective and ease of Repair, Renovation and Re-use of machine tools within modern factory (EASE-R3)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The current maintenance policies, including e.g. RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), can be generally useful in answering questions such as “how much maintenance should be done on this machine?” “How frequently should this part be replaced?” “How many spare parts should be kept in stock?” “How should the shutdown be scheduled?” It is generally accepted tha ...

Resource-Efficient Factory Of Recyclable Manufacturing composite components (REFORM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

REFORM focuses on more resource-efficiency and cleaner manufacturing technologies for composite components to be exploited in different industrial sectors (e.g. Transport, Energy, Construction, ..). Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are becoming very popular as their use reduces weight and allow innovative designs for energy-saving products during service-life. Nevertheless, service-life d ...

Innovative proactive Quality Control system for in-process multi-stage defect reduction (MuProD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

This project aims at developing an innovative Quality Control System that will drastically change the current concept of End Of Line quality control, going beyond currently established methodologies such as Six-sigma and SPC. It will prevent the generation of defects within the process at single stage and the propagation of defects between processes at multi-stage system level. This Quality Contro ...

Cooperation Environment For Rapid Design prototyping and New Integration Concepts for Factory of the Future (COPERNICO)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

In COPERNICO a novel approach is adopted which will look at ALL factors of the production system in a holistic manner (machines, humans, environment) and model the interactions. Particular attention will be paid to factory ramp-up, which is critical for new products and can be a major stumbling block achieving fast time-to-market. We believe that it is only possible to design a virtual manufacturi ...

A multi-technological approach for Dematerialising the production systems within a view of productive, reliable and eco-efficient machining processes (DEMAT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The aim of this project is to dematerialise the machine tools and manufacturing systems that are designed and produced in Europe. Today, European machine builders, the vast majority of them SMEs, sell high performance and productive, but heavy, long-delivery-time and high-energy-consuming machines. The DEMAT project will provide these European companies with knowledge-based technologies and tools ...

Adaptive Business Collaboration by progressive knowledge sharing and engineering (TRANSPARENCY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The vision of TRANSPARENCY is to allow European machine-tool builders for transferring their business into a machine-related cooperation of service oriented partners in a dynamic network. The project aims for a vertical integration of management, design and operation of machine-tools to provide long-ranging transparency for both the end users and the machine-tool builder throughout the whole life- ...

Advanced Polymeric COmpounds and Metal Matrix Composites for Excellent Performances in Machine Tools applications (COMETA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The COMETA project aims at solving the following problems of SMEs European machine tools manufacturers: -Get high “Thermal” stability, in order to minimise thermally-induced errors arising from thermal deformations of the machine structures caused by internal/external heat sources. -Get high “Dynamic” stability, in order to minimise vibration (forced and chatter) and inertial effects of machine ...
