Brief description

The complex joining of fittings or connectors in industrial furniture and interior design has been significantly simplified by using the principle of inductive heating. A technology was developed where fittings and connecting elements were glued permanently and functionally to components for the first time with the help of inductive heating. The main advantages are:

  • Saving the machining step drilling,
  • Increase in process times and
  • Creation of the best possible connection through gluing over the entire surface.

The joining was realized with the help of thermoplastic hot melt adhesives and the technology of inductive heating of the fitting.

Brief description

The aim is to create the conditions for the production of new, coated and spherical powders. The powders to be developed are used in plasma, HVOF, flame spraying, plasma powder build-up welding (PTA) and laser powder build-up welding (LPA). These are common methods of coating production. Completely new powders that do not exist on the market are being developed.

The new coating powders are produced using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP). A high frequency electromagnetic field creates a plasma in a stream of gas (e.g. argon), which plasma is used to melt a wire to make the powders.

Brief description

A variety of packaging such as  Coffee packaging has an inductive layer due to its multi-layer structure. This fact is to be used to establish a new type of technology in food technology and similar industries. The aim of the project is to develop induction sealing technology for the food packaging sector. Induction heating and sealing has several advantages, in particular:

  • significantly higher energetic efficiency compared to heat contact sealing,
  • targeted heat input close to the point of action,
  • Product protection through targeted, low heat input and
  • short control times.

Brief description
The aim of this HLProKet research project was to use high-performance manufacturing processes to qualify and coordinate the soft machining and heat treatment processes in such a way that subsequent hard finishing can be dispensed with. Furthermore, while productivity remains the same, there should be a significant increase in the flexibility of the process chain. For this purpose, the manufacturing processes of ring rolling and punching used for the manufacture of a machine element were replaced by a high-performance manufacturing process of turning rolling and by economical high-performance milling. The geometry-generating processing is developed on a machine that is followed by a system for heat treatment.

The HLProKet project consortium consisted of six industrial companies and one research institute. The consortium included representatives from the entire machine tool industry, from component, system and tool manufacturers to machine tool manufacturers and end users.
