Design and construction of machinery
Constructive development of a loop thread layer in large circular knitting machine - concept development, drive dimensioning, installation and testing
Based on a number of textile production methods, customized, functionally integrated structures can be produced. This potential is gaining in industrial importance, stimulated by the product and process innovations made at the ITM. Structurally optimized components from high-performance fibers can only be realized economically by using new machine concepts. This requires a significant enhancement of machinery, the addition of new modules and completely new developments. Machine development is therefore a crucial part of textile technical research at the ITM. Past involvement of machine development in system design via supporting competencies in the fields of kinematics, construction, drive technology and controls enables the successful realization of domain-specific machine designs and subsequent system integration of newly developed assembly groups.
The central factor of machine development is the kinematics of the working parts. The ITM is equipped with a wide range of tools for the synthesis of multibody systems (MBS) for the realization of various movement tasks.
These tools include plane guidance and transfer tasks, spatial guidance tasks with
- both classic rigid-body joints
- and malleable joints with concentrated or distributed misalignment
in passive or active versions.
Based on this foundation, special test systems, highly flexible robot systems and highly dynamically working transmission assembly groups for the use in textile machinery are being developed at the ITM.
The constructive realization is helped by modern computer technology and modeling software (Matlab/Simulink, SimulationX, NX, SolidWorks, CATIA).
The highly-qualified staff and modern equipment of the ITM allows the design, construction, and enhancement of new modules and machine concepts for an innovative use in almost all high-tech applications.
