Fritz P Mayer, president of Cematex and the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), handed over the prize money of €10,000 with certificate to the lucky winner at ITMA 2019 in Barcelona, Spain, said a press release by ITA.
The 3D braiding machine consists of an existing conventional mechanical system. It has now been digitised and rebuilt according to industry 4.0 standard. With the help of the digital control, eg. three-dimensionally reinforced ceramic turbine components can be manufactured as prototypes and subsequently produced in series. Together with the company ark industrie AG, Aachen, Germany, and 2C-Composites GmbH & Co KG, Heinsberg, Germany, the control system was completely redesigned so that the machine can be monitored and operated from anywhere.
“Every machine manufacturer is looking for ways to update its existing machinery before replacing it. We provide him with a good solution in the field of digitisation and Industry 4.0,” said professor Dr Thomas Gries, head of ITA.
The ITMA Sustainable Innovation Award was created by Cematex to recognise the joint efforts of the global textile industry to promote corporate sustainability through innovative solutions and outstanding industry-specific research. The award comprises two categories: an Industry Excellence Award for textile and apparel manufacturers and a Research & Innovation Excellence Award open to Master’s students. (PC)
