Successful collaboration leads to the construction of new machinery
Together is better, and collaborations between scientists and practitioners does succeed. This is demonstrated the development of a new machine, which in cooperation between the firm of George engineering, Neitersen, and the University of Siegen. It is work in progress and the development and the design and construction is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics.
Graduate engineer Sebastian Rosner began 2004 in a dual system studying mechanical engineering, followed by a thesis on equipment in that field. He performed the research, development and construction of the new machinery as a scientific assistant at the university together with practitioners in the field. The young engineer thus has two jobs, and also a very excellent opportunity for the future with a view to promotion.
The cooperation between the University of Siegen in engineering and the University of Koblenz in the business sector have been at the company stock, a long time. Managing Director Guido Brassart and Professor Horst Idelberger presented the project to the public. With focus on the young trainees who complete their dual training at the time. Brassart left no doubt that you will earn money with the new machinery and wants to promote its position as world market leader. A medium-sized businesses can not afford their own research and development departments with all the many special high-tech facilities. The Institute provides the requirements for advanced processes of simulation techniques that are performed on the computer. These simulations make it unnecessary to build each time a prototype of new equipment, as it was still common practice decades ago. If you are happy with the results on a simulator design process is initiated. The designers and mechanical engineers go to work. For the new ball cage punching machines about 20 people with development and construction are employed. The team covers all areas.
Sebastian Rosner explained his work that will lead to the development and construction of a new ball cage punching equipment. Such machines built Georg and is become the world leader. This unique feature is to keep it. A ball cage plays a pivotal role in a joint drive, whether small cars, four-wheel vehicle or truck, the Georg-punching machines, the window to the steel cage in which are located in the finished joint of a drive shaft, the balls. The hitherto successful machines produce all eleven seconds a ball cage. ....
