Aims

Increase of productivity and process reliability of microstructuring and joining processes for integration piezo fiber batches in metallic structures suitable for mass production process chains

a02
  • hybrid forming and joining processes with elastic tolerance compensation
  • increase of process reliability and reproduction by using inherent sensor functionality of the piezo fibre batch for intelligent process control of the joining process
  • process development of sealing technologies of the active zone to protect against media, mechanical damages and electrical insulation

 


Results

Microstructuring by micro forming

Micro impact extrusion
 
  • Expansion to secondary structures
  • Reduction of the distance- and width tolerances by 75% compared to project phase 1
  • Aspect Ratio  > 1
  • Reduction of forming force by 47% (including secondary structures)
 a02
 
Hybrid Microforming
 
  • Shear displacement forming of planar secondary structures
  • Combination of micro impact extrusion and shear displacement forming in one press stroke →  hybrid microforming
  • Force reduction by 22% compared to impact extrusion
