Takt- und Standzeitoptimierung beim Schaftfräsen von GFK-Bauteile

Abstract

This master's thesis investigates the milling process of wet-pressed components in the context of high-volume production. The focus is on optimizing cycle time and tool life. First, an analysis of the current process is conducted to identify potential improvements. A key aspect is the examination of tool wear, as it significantly impacts process stability and cost-efficiency. A possible cause of tool wear was identified, though further data are needed to confirm this conclusively. To minimize wear and extend tool life, the process cooling is also analysed. In this regard, a new cooling concept was developed and presented using CAD. Finally, recommendations for future steps are made to deepen the analysis and test the cooling concept in practice. The aim of this thesis is to achieve a comprehensive optimization of the milling process, improving both cycle time and tool life.
