ICTM Aachen – International Center for Turbomachinery ManufacturingInvestigation and compensation of clamping-induced distortion
How does the clamping situation affect part distortion in turning?
Challenge and Motivation
- Clamping found to have major influence on part distortion.
- Past work showed that a tailored clamping can reduce distortion in milling (see Project 2.1 in 2020).
Objective
- Quantification of distortion through simulation and experimental measurements for different clamping scenarios.
- Demonstrate distortion reduction through suitable workpiece fixture selection.
