Open labs

• Transparent mechatronics laboratory: Vehicle diagnostics - what kind of data can I read out and what can I do with it?, Room 0.01:
  Identification and testing of controlled systems using HiL (Hardware in the Loop). The HiL simulation serves as a simulation of the real environment of the controlled system, the parameters of the controlled system can thus be optimized in the laboratory (without the availability of the real environment).
• Production metrologylaboratory, room 0.05:
  General laboratory presentation and guided tours incl. presentation of the RENI research project (simultaneous translation German and Czech with live transmission)
  Dimensional, shape and position tolerances, roughness, waviness through to the evaluation of 3D printed parts and 3D scanning
• Manufacturing processes laboratory, room 0.07:
  Hands-on experiment - AR gearbox - gearbox test stand
  Join in and learn how to assemble a gearbox in the correct sequence with virtual support. Here we use AR "Augmented Reality" in real technical life.
• Thermodynamics and thermal engineeringresearch lab, room 1.04.1:
  General lab presentations and permanent lab tours
  Research on energy storage, in particular phase transitions, heat transfer and flows
• Production Engineering Laboratory, Room 1.05:
  General laboratory presentations and permanent laboratory tours
  A flexible manufacturing and assembly system, a so-called iCIM system, shows how our products are manufactured around the world.
