Function- and principle-hybrid interfaces for quickly reconfiguring small modular machine tools to be utilized by a collective of users

该项目第二个资助期的目标是通过多功能和原理混合接口快速(重新)配置和启动组合机床系统。应根据对不同的时间相关要求和基于要耦合的各种模块的要求的科学和系统分析，对尚未原型开发的接口系统进行优化。此外，接口系统应根据确定的应用场景进行适配和功能增强。功能增强是综合材料传输、落实博卡横卡原则和信息技术能力，例如存储与模块有关的数据，这些数据被处理以便快速启动或传输到总体控制。随后，将在实验室和实际条件下以及单独和模块配置中验证接口的所有功能。所获得的发现不仅有助于改进接口的功能特性，而且通过例如保存所确定的系统定位误差来提高所配置机床的性能。足够的传感器技术将提供接口的操作安全性和可靠性。这样，(重新)配置和制造试验可以在资助期结束时进行。这些有条不紊地开发的功能和原理混合接口最终应集成到机床模块中，因此它们被视为模块的一部分。

The objective of the second funding period of this project is the quick (re)configuration and start-up of a modular machine tool system through multifunctional and principle-hybrid interfaces. The yet prototypically developed interface system shall be optimized based on a scientific and methodical analysis of differing time-dependent requirements and requirements based on the various modules to be coupled. Also, the interface system shall be adapted and functionally enhanced according to identified application scenarios. Functional enhancements are an integrated material transmission, the implementation of Poka Yoka principles and IT abilities, e.g. the storage of module-relevant data, which is processed for a quick start-up or transmitted to the overall control. Subsequently, all functions of the interfaces will be validated under laboratory and real-life conditions as well as individually and in module configurations. The acquired findings serve not only to improve the interfaces' functional features, but also to increase performance of the configured machine tool by e.g. saving the determined systematic positioning error. Adequate sensor technology will provide operational safety and reliability of the interfaces. This way, (re)configuration and manufacturing trials can be conducted at the end of the funding period. These methodically developed function- and principle-hybrid interfaces shall be finally integrated into machine tool modules so they are considered being part of a module.
