Twin-Control

Home

Twin-Control aims to develop a simulation system that integrates the different aspects that affect machine tool and machining performance, including lifecycle concepts, providing better estimation of machining performance than single featured simulation packages. This holistic simulation model will be linked to the real machines in order to update itself according to their real condition and to perform control actions that will lead to performance improvements.

This project was active for three years, September 2015-2018.

Monitoring infrastructure

A reliable and continuous monitoring of all use case machines is one of the most important task in Twin-Control. Overall, in Twin-Control six industrial use case machines (three at Renault, three at MASA), three laboratory use case machines (TU Darmstadt, TEKNIKER, ARTIS) and three Pilot-line use case machines (ETA Factory Darmstadt, Factory of the Future Sheffield, Basque AMC Bilbao) Read more

Twin-Control plenary meeting at IK4-TEKNIKER

June 30, 2017

This week, June 27-28, the Twin-Control consortium gathered for a plenary meeting at IK4-TEKNIKER’s facilities in Eibar, Spain. The aim of the meeting was to review recent advances of the project and to make all preparations for the industrial implementation of Twin-Control, scheduled to be performed this October.

During the plenary meeting, special sessions were devoted to check the status of the different modules developed within Twin-Control, which are almost finished, and to present the first steps in their integration. In addition, partners had the chance to see a demonstration of the automated Machine Tool characterization test procedure at IK4-TEKNIKER’s lab machine.
