As described in the section on research and development the institute is concerned with the development of new methods for computer applications in the areas of design, calculation, production and production control. In addition modern control techniques for the positioning of feed drive units and also for the active vibration reduction of press frames are being developed at present. In the machine tools laboratory tutorials in the areas of material separation, measurement, control technology are carried out using machines and computer-aided production methods. In the Forming Technology Laboratory tutorials are given in the areas of sheet forming and mass forming.
More advanced tutorials are also on offer.
The Plastics Technology Laboratory offers practical training in the areas of materials technology for plastics, plastic processing and quality assurance.
