Christian Brecher Book order

Focusing on the design of mechatronic components, this volume delves into feed drives for machine tools essential for dynamic movements. It offers engineering guides on component selection, control technology, and measurement systems for precise positioning. Additionally, it explores process and diagnostic equipment for manufacturing systems. The second part covers control concepts, programming methods, and various controllers (PLC, NC, RC) relevant to modern production systems, highlighting the automation pyramid and the critical role of control systems in machine and plant engineering.

Das Spektrum von optischen Kunststoffkomponenten erweitert sich stetig um innovative Herstellungstechnologien, Materialien und Produkte. Das Ziel der Konferenz ist es, sowohl materialseitige als auch technologieorientierte sowie anwendungsbezogene Aspekte aufzugreifen und vor dem Hintergrund von aktuellen Trends und Fragestellungen im Themenfeld Kunststoffoptik zu beleuchten.

Actual topics and trends in bevel gear technology are presented and discussed in this special-interest seminar which is well established among the international technical community. Nowadays customers require high performance bevel gears. Within this seminar current developments of design and calculation processes are introduced. Furthermore the new inventions in bevel gear production and quality inspection will be presented. The seminar gives an overview about the state of the art. Current problems in bevel gear production will be discussed in preparation for future research and developments. This conference will be offered with simultaneous translation into English.

For more than 50 years the annual WZL Gear Conference in Aachen, Germany, has been fostering technical collaboration and communication among the members of the WZL Gear Research Circle .

LED’s open up new possibilities in lighting. Although most of the people are mainly interested in the high efficiency and therefore the energy savings realized with LED’s, mainly optical engineers and lighting designers are fascinated by the very bright but small light source which – at least in theory – opens up completely new possibilities in optical design. But these opportunities do not come for free – on the other side new challenges have to be mastered, mainly in terms of the high brightness of the light source itself, the hemispherical distribution of the direct part of the light, not to forget topics like binning and kitting.

Industrial production in high-wage countries like Germany is still at risk. Yet, there are many counter-examples in which producing companies dominate their competitors by not only compensating for their specific disadvantages in terms of factor costs (e.g. wages, energy, duties and taxes) but rather by minimising waste using synchronising integrativity as well as by obtaining superior adaptivity on alternating conditions. In order to respond to the issue of economic sustainability of industrial production in high-wage countries, the leading production engineering and material research scientists of RWTH Aachen University together with renowned companies have established the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries”. This compendium comprises the cluster’s scientific results as well as a selection of business and technology cases, in which these results have been successfully implemented into industrial practice in close cooperation with more than 30 companies of the industrial production sector.
