Automated Generation of Clamping Concepts and Assembly Cells for Car Body Parts for the Digitalization of Automobile Production

Abstract: A central success factor for the digitalization of production processes is the provision of a consistent database across domains and life cycles. The current situation in the automotive industry is characterized by a multitude of engineering tools with diverse, proprietary data formats, which require complex conversion processes and show dramatic deficits in the consistency and accessibility of the data. In recent years, graph-based design languages have been refined and their range of application expanded to an extent that they represent an interesting approach to addressing these problems. The focus of this paper is on the automated generation of assembly processes and assembly resources (e.g. type-related production equipment such as clamping devices) using the example of automotive body parts (front flap and B-pillar). Within the presented engineering framework of automated production planning, clamping concepts and assembly cells (with automated wiring) are generated using graph-based design languages. Based on the manufacturing concept, a joining sequence and fastener planning is carried out, from which a product-specific clamping and fixing concept is derived. The central advantage of this procedure is, in addition to the high degree of automation, the possibility of providing a consistent database. This database allows the automatic derivation for the various specialized engineering tools.

Verfahren zum Entgraten von Guß-, Spritz- und Schmiedeteilen

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Entgraten spanlos hergestellter Teile 1 aus elektrisch leitenden Werkstoffen mittels Plasmaschneiden. Zur Vermeidung einer Vielzahl von Zundvorgangen schlagt die Erfindung vor, Formen derart auszubilden, dass sich bei der Herstellung von Teilen 1 ein weitgehend ununterbrochener Grat 4 bildet und dadurch der Lichtbogen des Plasmaschneidens nicht unterbrochen wird. DOLLAR A Am Beispiel eines Druckgusteils wird die Erfindung naher erlautert.

Scent dispenser for aromatherapy has tank for fluid scent and cork to aspirate scent into airflow of fan

Abstract: The scent dispenser has a tank (7) for fluid scent, with an opening (11). An aspiration wick or cork (9) is positioned in direct contact with the tank at set time intervals and removed from it at other time intervals. The cork can be exposed to the scent by tipping of the tank. The scent can be dispersed by a fan (33).

Forming press with a drawing cushion function integrated into the sliding table

Abstract: The invention relates to a forming press in which the drawing cushion functions (3) or parts thereof, such as, for example, the drives (5) and the displacement and force transmission means, are integrated into one or more sliding tables (1)

Telecommunication apparatus e.g. for providing status information of house

Abstract: The apparatus includes an input unit which is connected to a preprogrammed dialling unit (19). The signals at the input release the dialling to a predetermined subscriber. A transmission unit (14,22) sends a message to the subscriber. Preferably, the transmission unit is a communication connection between a door microphone-loudspeaker unit and the subscriber. A storage unit (22) carries out a communication with the door microphone-loudspeaker unit when the connection to the predetermined subscriber is not come about.
