New Production Technologies in Aerospace Industry

The demand of the future-oriented market of the Aerospace Industry for a resourceefficient production with high productivity and a maximum quality rate requires a continuous technical development within this branch. As one of the leading sectors in Europe it has a pioneering role for the constant development of modern production technology always considering the long planning intervals. With this responsibility the production technology with its innovative machine tools, new production engineering technologies and efficient structures makes an essential contribution to the further development of global players. The aim is to increase quality, efficiency and safety standards continuously. The 4th Machining Innovations Conference “New Production Technologies in Aerospace Industry” in 2013 is presented from the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools in cooperation with the Machining Innovations Network e.V. The conference is held in connection with the EMO, which provides with the motto „Intelligence in Production“, an appropriate framework for the professional linking-up of future-oriented ideas. For the first time in the 13 years history of the conference, scientific presentations are held with the state-of-the-art research results on key topics of the conference in an extra session, which will also be published in “Lecture Notes in Production Engineering” by Springer. Altogether 26 experts from industry and science report on two half-days in plenary and technical presentations of the latest innovations and trends in Aerospace Industry, which you find on the following pages. The focus of the different sessions encompasses current trends in manufacturing and production technology as well as planning and organization.
