RESEARCH LINES
Mechanical design
High-performance product design and development
The Mechanical Design research line has focussed its activity on the conceptualisation and detail design of advanced performance machines with high levels of precision and productivity, this phase being completed with the manufacture of a prototype.
To this end, simulation techniques are used and the most advanced and appropriate technologies and concepts are incorporated into the designs for each application as regards structures, materials, guidance systems and integration of actuators and feed-back systems.
Furthermore, the designs are conceptualised from the point of view of product lifecycle management, through the analysis, during the first phases of the process, of reliability, maintainability, availability, environmental impact and cost, among other concepts.
- Design of machines and components.
- Simulation and calculation of machines and components.
- Uncertainty analysis.
- Prototype design and manufacture.
- Product lifespan management.
- RAM parameter management (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability).
- Design and manufacture of a suspension rod control station for a high productivity line.
- Design of a highly flexible support system for grinding of parts.
- Thermal simulation models for improvement of accuracy in grinding processes for large parts.
