Demonstrators

AFFIX is a case-study driven project. The end-users have submitted real industrial problems, whose main features have been abstracted to form the basis of the laboratory demonstrators. Once these proof-of-concept demonstrators have been developed, it will be possible to feed the results back to the end-user companies to implement in their assembly processes. The three main demonstrators areas are:

  1. Flexible part-to-part alignment, concentrating on concentric parts
  2. Handling and fixing parts in closed spaces
  3. Modelling benchtest demonstrator to validate simulations of both part and fixture behaviour during grinding, welding and milling operations

The posters below were first shown at the Forging Links event in Stuttgart, June 2008
