Our chair cooperates worldwide with strong partners
The Chair of Machine Tool Development and Adaptive Controls, headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steffen Ihlenfeldt, conducts DFG projects as well as AiF, BMBF and BMWi research projects together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU. Close cooperation exists with several university research institutions and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the machine tool industry. In addition, the chair promotes the international exchange of students and doctoral candidates.

Cooperation of the chair
The Chair for Machine Tools Development and Adaptive Controls under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steffen Ihlenfeldt maintains a close personal connection to the Department of Cyberphysical Production Systems (CPPS) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU.
Together, they carry out basic research-oriented DFG projects as well as AiF, BMBF and BMWi research projects. There is also close cooperation with several university research institutions and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the machine tool industry. The third-party funds raised with the research projects amount to approximately 2 million euros annually.
The regular exchange of students and doctoral candidates at partner universities abroad – including the University of Naples Federico II in Italy and the Beijing Institute of Technology in China – is also supported and maintained by the chair.
