ABB robots in Mercedes-Benz's OP-150 HD cleaning system were failing — the culprit: direct exposure to 600-bar water jets at 60–70°C. We applied Six Sigma root-cause analysis and redesigned the robotic cage with protective coverings, significantly …
Molten aluminum at 820°C, abrasive casting debris, relentless thermal cycling — ABB robot arms at Ford's Cologne-Niehl foundry were being pushed to their limits. I supported the development of preventive maintenance schedules, enhanced thermal …
Iron-aluminide alloys are lightweight, oxidation-resistant, and highly important for turbine blade applications. However, they are notoriously difficult to manufacture. At Fraunhofer ILT (RWTH Aachen), I was in charge of laser metal deposition …
E-jet printing can deposit droplets as small as 240 nm — but only if electromagnetic noise does not drown out the signal. I diagnosed intrinsic and extrinsic noise sources and implement EM shielding strategies to enable precise droplet-charge sensing …
