Dear Industry Expert,
A typical problem in tool grinding is so-called displacement. Process forces push away the tool being manufactured, thereby reducing the potential accuracy levels. Find out how displacement during tool grinding can be compensated by intelligent process planning and the use of grinding spindles equipped with sensors. |

Dialog between top researchers and high-tech industry
Digitalization now plays a major role in many areas of grinding technology. The data-based manual optimization of grinding as an isolated process is currently in great demand. Industrial users are increasingly planning to use AI methods to predict the outcome of a process in order to reduce quality variations. AI tools can also be used for predictive maintenance of grinding machines. Digital twins can potentially make grinding processes even more assessable and certifiable by combining process data and scientific models.

Security by Design now in machine tools
In order to protect existing machines, it is not enough simply to install a new operating system if the software provider no longer offers security updates for the old version, says Beck. The task is so challenging that an entirely new business field has developed in response. The focus must be on integrating security solutions into the development of a machine to ensure its resilience over its entire life cycle. More...
