Project description
Innovative device reducing vibrations in manufacturing equipment
The manufacturing equipment market requires products combining high performance, low life cycle costs (LCC), and environmental sustainability. Existing solutions to minimise vibrations in manufacturing equipment are costly and custom made. The EU-funded MARS project proposes an innovative, flexible, modular, plug-and-play mechatronic device, developed by Ce.S.I. Centro Studi Industriali, based on piezoelectric stack actuators. AViA (Active Vibration Absorber) can reduce vibration up to 70 % in the frequency range of 50-500 Hz, increase productivity by up to 20 %, reduce LCC by up to 15 %, and improve part finishing, double tool lifetime, and reduce scraps and environmental impact. The project will assess the technical feasibility of developing scalable modules, investigate the market, examine the business opportunity and propose a suitable commercialisation plan.
Objective
In today's competitive Manufacturing Equipment market, the requirement for products combining high performances, low Life Cycle Costs (LCC) and environmental sustainability is a driven criterion. Within this sector, CeSI-Centro Studi Industriali has assumed a key role at national and international level in the development of innovative products combining high performances, flexibility and quality. Strongly committed to innovation CeSI has built a solid network with European Universities and Research Organizations to provide its customers with forefront solutions to improve machining performances.
In this framework CeSI is working to develop a novel solution to minimize vibrations, an issue that can seriously compromise the quality of the workpiece, currently addressed only with costly, custom-made solutions.
In MARS project an innovative, flexible, modular, plug-and-play mechatronic device based on piezoelectric stack actuators is proposed: AViA (Active Vibration Absorber), able to reduce vibration up to 70% in the frequency range of 50-500Hz, and to:
•Increase productivity by up to 20% (machine can work with more demanding parameters, reducing machining steps and cycle time)
•Reduce LCC by up to 15%
•Improve part finishing
•Double tool lifetime, reducing its wear
•Reduce scraps, and therefore environmental impact
AViA will be sold as add-on kit, composed by:
•Mechanical HW to be installed on the Machine Tool
•Electronic HW and control SW
•Application Program Interface to support the user-friendly configuration of the device
Thanks to AViA, CeSI expects to increase its turnover up to +150% in 3 years after the beginning of commercialisation.
The main objectives of MARS is to confirm this forecast, and to evaluate the technical feasibility of developing scalable modules, able to meet a wide range of requirements, investigating at the same time the market, examining the business opportunity and proposing a suitable commercialisation plan.
