After more than 6 years of joint research work in two funding phases, the DFG-funded research group FOR2271 "Process-oriented tolerance management based on virtual computer-aided engineering tools" was concluded on 04.07.23 in the context of a colloquium. The KTmfk worked on a subproject and was spe...

The 5th Summer School Tolerance Management was hosted in Erlangen in presence this year. This promoted, above all, the personal bilateral exchange and again offered a good platform for an intensive dialog between education, research and industry. With this year's focus on digitalization and data-dri...

The 18th IEEE System of Systems Engineering conference was held at Polytech in Lille from June 14-16. It was hosted by the Centre de Recherche en Informatique, Signal et Automatique Lille (CRIStAL), which is dedicated to research in robotics, digital health, and AI. The Chair of Engineering Design w...

As an alternative to marker-based motion capture systems, IMU-based systems can also be used to collect motion data. These systems allow flexible motion collection without nearly any restriction regarding the environment. However, one limitation is that there is no universal way to transfer IMU data...

After a digital run in 2021, the two-yearly VDI symposium on journal and rolling bearings finally took place again in Schweinfurt on June 14-15. This time KTmfk was represented by Mr. Halmos, Mr. Kramer and Dr. Bartz. Mr. Kramer, together with Mr. Rüth from the Chair of Machine Elements, Gears and T...
