Simulation-based tool and process design for microfinishing with metal-bonded honing tools (Transfer SimHonen) (Projectnumber: 450792335)

This transfer project is based on the basic projects "Experimental and simulation-supported basic investigations on surface structuring by short and long stroke honing". Building on the previous results, investigations are being carried out into the production of crowned contours using microfinishing and simulation models are being developed for prototypical process and tool design. The knowledge gained so far is to be transferred prototypically to an industrial application and a new tool concept as part of the transfer project. The Institute of Machining Technology (ISF) and the Chair XIV (LS XIV), together with the companies NAGEL Maschinen- und Werkzeugfabrik GmbH, ELGAN-Diamantwerkzeuge GmbH & Co. KG and Alicona Imaging GmbH will carry out the necessary research and development work within the framework of the transfer project.

The central objective of the project is the experimental and simulative tool and process design for the targeted setting of a desired shape on shaft shoulders by means of microfinishing, taking into account the desired topography. The basis of the investigations is a newly developed tool from the project partner ELGAN, which is characterised by its special structure.

Based on the previous findings and the developed simulation model from the previous basic research project, the transfer to the industrial application case takes place here. The simulation developments take into account both tool wear and a more precise modelling of the process forces depending on influencing parameters such as the use of cooling lubricant. The experimental investigations concern the analysis of the interactions of tool specifications and process parameters during microfinishing with metal-bonded honing stones. Based on these findings, the simulation model is extended to predict the target variables of ballous shape and surface topography when varying the tool and process parameters. In this context, the tool and process analysis is used to build the simulation model, which in turn can lead to the reduction of experimental trials in future tool and process design and optimisation.

Location & approach

From A1

Take exit Kreuz Dortmund/Unna to merge onto A44 toward Dortmund, which changes into the B1. Exit Dortmund-Dorstfeld toward Universität (onward see map).

From A 45

Exit Dortmund-Eichlinghofen toward Universität (onward see map).

Alternatively, you can calculate the route here: Google Maps.

 

Arrival by Deutsche Bahn to Dortmund or Bochum central station.

From Dortmund central station, take the S1 city train in the direction of Düsseldorf to the "Dortmund Universität" station (7 minutes journey time).

From Bochum central station, take the S1 city train in the direction of Dortmund to the "Dortmund Universität" station (14 minutes journey time).

The city train runs regularly every 20 minutes in both directions.  From the city train station, take the Skytrain (S-Universität stop) to the Campus Süd stop (1 stop, runs every 10 minutes).

From Dort­mund Airport

By taxi to TU Dortmund University, Campus South (approx. 20 min and 30 €, see  Map)

From Düsseldorf Airport

Take the city train S1 in the direction of Dortmund to the "Dortmund-Universität" station (approx. 60 min). From here, take the Skytrain in the direction of Campus South or Eichlinghofen (runs every 10 minutes and takes approx. 3 min.).

 

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dort­mund Uni­ver­si­tät S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the uni­ver­si­ty directly with the city of Dort­mund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

 

The facilities of TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the uni­ver­si­ty are located in the adjacent “Technologiepark”.
