Main Focus

Synthesis and analysis of systems for handling and manipulating (mechanisms) as well as automotive engineering in consideration of kinematics, dynamics and mechatronics aspects

Research Focus

Product-Oriented

  • Mechanisms in packaging technology, automotive engineering, agricultural machines technology and construction machines technology
  • Planar, spherical and spatial cam mechanisms
  • Mechatronics
  • Windscreen wiper mechanisms
  • Convertible roof mechanisms
  • Wheel suspensions / Driving dynamics
  • Parallel and serial Manipulators, Systems for Handling
  • Robots
  • Gripper for handling systems

Method-Oriented

  • Choice of mechanism-structure (structure synthesis)
  • Specification of dimension (dimensional synthesis)
  • Specification of motion behaviour (path planning/motion design)
  • 3D-Simulation of the kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms (analysis and optimisation)
  • Sensitivity analysis
  • Tolerance analysis and tolerance synthesis
  • Vibration analysis and optimisation
