Optimized clamping technology Cooperation between LPKF and FH Regensburg
Contact: A bit of practical work is an essential part of studying an engineering Marika Nitscher [email protected] subject. This practical experience is being acquired by around 40 Tel. +49 (0)9131 61657-7417 mechanical engineering students at Regensburg University thanks Fax +49 (0)9131 61657-77 to a cooperation agreement with the Laser Welding Division of LPKF Laser & Electronics AG. 06.12.2011 The specifications are ambitious: groups of two to three participants are given an identical task: to develop and evaluate clamping methods for the robot-assisted TwinWeld welding technique. The narrow terms of refer- LPKF Laser & Electronics AG Laser Welding Division ence provide a realistic production framework for the task. All the groups Gundstr. 15 are to develop solutions following two different basic approaches, and D-91056 Erlangen Germany then present the results – the winners will be rewarded with a cash prize.
Internet The first step in this process has already been undertaken: the students » www.lpkf-laserwelding.com » www.lpkf.de took part in a factory tour of the LPKF office in Erlangen, accompanied by their professors Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hierl and Dr.-Ing. Thomas Schaeffer. Hierl Management Board thus revisited his previous place of work: before taking up his lecturing du- Dr. Ingo Bretthauer (CEO) Bernd Lange (CTO) ties at the university, he was in charge of the Laser Welding Division, and Kai Bentz (CFO) so knows everything there is to know about the engineering side of the Shares: business. Prime Standard ISIN 0006450000 LPKF is delighted to be able to cooperate with the university, as Frank Brunnecker, the current branch manager explains, “We highlight the fact that a job in the engineering profession is regularly associated with excit- Reprint free of charge, copy kindly requested ing challenges. At the same time, we are raising our profile at the universi- ty with the aim of attracting students to apply to us for employment when they have finished their degrees – as an active part of our endeavors to recruit qualified technical staff”.
