The  Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing (IWF)  performs international leading research on machine tools and in the field of production engineering. We are looking for a new PhD candidate for a new research project with close industrial contact. Project background Process prediction remains the main challenge for modern handheld processes. Typically, unstable process conditions are avoided by extensive experimental study. Existing physical models provide inaccurate results, making their usage unattractive for real industrial application cases. Making predictions from experimental observations requires an enormous amount of data, which is not practicable for industrial use. It is hence targeted to develop a hybrid approach, which combines the existing knowledge about the process and the capabilities of machine learning approaches. With the continuously growing database, it is expected that the prediction accuracy improves significantly over...

The  Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing (IWF)  performs international leading research on machine tools and in the field of production engineering. For a new research project with close industrial contact we are looking for a new PhD candidate. Project background Process instability, resulting in chatter vibrations, remains the main limiting factor for modern CNC milling processes. These vibrations can lead to low surface quality, tool breakage and, in extreme cases, even to machine failure. Typically, unstable process conditions are avoided by creating stability lobe diagrams, which indicate stable cutting depths as a function of the spindle speed. However, existing models provide inaccurate results, making their usage unattractive for real industrial application cases. One alternative solution is to build experience-based stability lobe diagrams from measured stable and unstable cutting conditions. While it is straight-forward to autonomously...
