The increase of flexibility, safety and efficiency in processes of production, transport and handling are the main tasks of the Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA). Due to the continuous increase in the requirements for transport and automation processes, the need for holistic solution approaches is growing. These approaches range from decision algorithms and circuit design to applications in intralogistics and manufacturing. Head of the institute is Professor Ludger Overmeyer.
Recently the development of the first manufactured non-cuttable material was presented in the journal Scientific Reports.
The material is made of ceramic spheres encased in a cellular aluminium structure. Dr. Florian Bittner from the Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy contributed to the determination of the internal material structure and the cutting mechanism by CT analyses of the material.
The complete research article is available at Scientific Reports.
