Production Flexibility and Efficiency through Simultaneous Three Axis Turning (FlexiSTAT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

In manufacturing of industrial parts, turning is one of the most important manufacturing processes and is applied mainly by SMEs. However, until today, turning processes suffer from inflexible machine characteristics, as to mention an extreme high amount of needed tool holders and frequent tool changes caused by tool lives of > 3 minutes. In order to raise production flexibility and efficiency sig ...

Demonstration of the AutoSpar Harvesting machine used for white and violet asparagus (DASH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The main aim of the DASH project is to demonstrate the previously developed fully automatic & selective harvesting machine for white and violet asparagus. The SMEs (BZN, STRAUSS, TTC and IMIX) proposing the DASH project build on the excellent results achieved in their recently successfully completed FP 7 ‘Research for the benefits of SMEs’ project AutoSpar (Call Identifier: FP7-SME-2007-1, EC Gran ...

Development of an Automatic harvesting system for green asparagus with stalk detection in Ambient Light (AmLight)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The main problem of harvesting green asparagus is the great need of seasonal workers. Usually between 1.5 and 2.5 workers are needed per ha. The high labour costs and unsatisfying working conditions have created over the last four decades the demand for a partial mechanization of the harvesting process. The increasing labour costs and the lack of in time labour supply have forced the asparagus far ...

In-line characterisation of nanoparticles using a combination of analytical techniques in real time (In-Sight)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

In-Sight is a SME-driven project on the in-line characterisation of nanoparticles during nanomaterial manufacturing. This in-line characterisation is the ultimate goal. Within the time-span of the project (3 years) it is our objective to show that a combination of analytical techniques that are capable of real time measurements will provide valuable information for the nanoparticle user. It is our ...

Development of a combined and automated hard turning and polishing production system – effective, automated, safe and integrated hard turning and polishing (easiTAP)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

European SMEs which produce high precision parts by means of hard turning are facing a steady loss of competitiveness in their growing markets since existing manufacturing technologies do not fulfil increasing demands on part quality and variety. During the last years the competition has worsen due to up-coming low wages countries outside Europe and an increasing cost pressure. Additionally these ...
