Self-sufficient intelligent plug-and-produce components with advanced sensing and actuating functionalities, e.g. based on smart materials. Able to adapt their range of properties, depending on the changing process conditions. Use vibration for energy harvesting to drive the intelligent system. Smart materials: compensation of static and / or thermally induced dislocations, vibration damping and d ...

Machine tools are a key component in industrial production processes as they provide an important contribution to the added value of manufactured products. They are based on mechanical structures conceived as a result of optimised designs in order to achieve the required performances for each one of the machining processes. The relatively recent irruption of mechatronic concepts, which take advan ...
