The acquisition of process control parameters is an important task during the continuous casting of steel. Due to the high temperatures of liquid steel, there are hardly any measurement methods that yield information about the liquid steel flow and are applicable in a...
The aim of this project was the development of a low-cost, modular, two-legged robot. Due to the complexity of the system, lots of effort was put into a robust and stable control of the individual components and in particular of the whole system. Industrial components...
Hybrid Drives already play an important role in individual transport systems, and getting increasingly important with public transport systems as well. A peculiarity of public transportation is the repetition of the routes. This poses the question if the demand on the...
To derive meaningful results in durability testing of hydraulic valves, it is crucial to perform such tests under realistic conditions. The phenomenon with the highest effect on valve durability is the so called flow force, which arises at high flow rates and high...
The distribution of the burden in a blast furnace which consists of alternating layers of different materials is an important process parameter for a stable and efficient blast furnace process. Gauging of the full three-dimensional (3D) surface in real time would be...
