4by3 – Four by Three

Assembly systems

Effective and safe human-robot collaboration (4by3) In the current EU research project 4by3, various scenarios for human-robot cooperation are currently being implemented. ZeMA's work packages include, on the one hand, the development of a human-robot-capable system and, on the other hand, the implementation of two application scenarios. Human-robot cooperation systems are partly already used in production and represent an approach to demand-oriented and, if necessary, temporary automation through human-robot cooperation.

Laser material processing

Manufacturing processes and automation

Laser material processingProblemsNewest laser sources open up a high potential for optimization. Current industrial process monitoring systems reach their limits due to superimposed influences. As a result, a sufficient seam quality cannot be guaranteed.Target settingAn online monitoring controls the relevant parameters of the process. When the process signals are assigned, a control is developed to ensure a constant seam quality. After a...
