Mechatronics Simulation The flexible multi-body simulation allows for the coupling of structural mechanics with the control loops of machine tools. Interactions between mechanics and numerical control can be investigated in this way.

Finite Element Analysis All structural components, guides, bearings and drives are taken into account in an overall model when designing and optimizing machine tools. We can carry out the setting-up of a model and the simulation within a week.

Modal Analysis The vibration behavior of the machine is detected at several measuring points. Thus, the modal shapes the resonance frequencies can be displayed graphically and the specific vulnerabilities of the machine are determined.

Vibration Analysis The vibration behavior of all relevant machine components are measured so that all significant amplitudes, frequencies and directions of vibration can be detected. In this way, both the cause of vibrations and the effects on the stability of the process can be determined.

Frequency response measurement By detecting the vibration behavior of the machine after loading it with a dynamic force (impact hammer or shaker), the dynamic compliance of the machine is determined. Thus, resonance points of the machine can be identified and possible risks of vibration can be assessed.

Stiffness measurement The relative displacement between the tool and the workpiece is measured when under stress from an increasing force. The static stiffness and possible non-linearities can be determined. The measurements can be made in different axis positions in each of the three coordinate directions.

planlauf / VIEW planlauf/VIEW is our free software for interactive, three-dimensional and animated visualization of simulation and measurement results of planlauf GmbH.

Vibration damper The physical-related susceptibility to bending and torsion vibrations of light, projecting systems can be dampened with oil-based and encapsulated auxiliary mass dampers. We calculate customized solutions and implement them in prototypes or as retrofit kits in the production machines.

Foundation calculation Large machine tools require a stiff foundation in order to be able to achieve the required geometrical accuracy despite moving masses.

Foundation measurement The level of rigidity and the transmission characteristics of foundations, hall floors or ceilings can be measured using special low-frequency measuring displacement or velocity sensors. Then the excitation of the corresponding building structures is measured using a heavy impact hammer.
