An industry-oriented manufacturing cell is built up at the institute FAPS that is powered exclusively by direct current (DC). The aim of this demonstrator is to integrate renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power directly into the energy circuit of the manufacturing cell. Flexible and ad...

Marcel Baader joined the research sector Electromechanical Engineering as a research associate on January 07, 2021. After completing his bachelor's degree in International Production Engineering and Management, he graduated with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Friedrich-Alexander-Un...

In order to enable autonomous driving at level 3 or higher, it is essential to manufacture the necessary sensor systems, such as new ultrasonic sensors with improved accuracy, in high quality, large quantities and at low cost. Due to the high requirements on these novel sensor designs, an innovative...

At the end of this extraordinary and turbulent year 2020, we would like to thank everyone for the great and flexible cooperation. Of course, we are looking forward to good collaborations in the next year as well and wish everyone a successful 2021. Until then, we hope that our robots Baxter, Cozm...

Together with the industry partners Sentinum and Murata, the Yamori IoT platform was developed and manufactured at FAPS. Yamori is the world's smallest, highly integrated, industrial-grade, multi-stack LPWAN IoT device, enabling versatile sensor configurations and dramatically reducing the developme...

The Research Sector Electronics Production at the Chair of FAPS was expanded by a high-temperature furnace (LHT 02/17) made by Nabertherm GmbH. This furnace achieves maximum temperature of 1750°C and is therefore suitable for sintering ceramic green bodies out of alumina oxide, for example. Using...

The 15XSA MID manufacturing system combines a wide range of manufacturing technologies with 5-axis motion control to enable the printing of complex 3D structures. The system has a modular design and is therefore ideally suited for a wide range of applications in research and development, prototype c...

The team of ANAMOS UG (haftungsbeschränkt), a FAPS SpinOff (EXIST project SofTiss Anatomics), was able to prevail with a 3D printed heart model against the other 35 finalists for the Innovation Prize 2020 of the international design competition purmundus challenge. The concept of the model was devel...

The Electronics Production of the Institute FAPS has been extended by the three-dimensional compatible placement machine iPulse S20 of the manufacturer Yamaha. Compared to the standard model, the system has a 3-axis robot arm that enables the mounting of three-dimensional circuit carriers. For this ...
