Institute of Aircraft Production Technology Details
The Institute of Aircraft Production Technology (IFPT) at TU Hamburg focuses on automation of production processes and applies the potentials of production technologies to industrial problems.One main challenge of the aviation industry is the production of large aircraft components, which have to be built in small batches using lightweight materials. Facing these requirements from the production perspective the IFPT cooperates with various industrial partners in different research projects, providing insights from theoretical research and practical component and process tests. These tests can be performed in a 450 m2 production hall equipped with industrial robots, laser trackers, high-tech sensors, 3D-printers and real aircraft components. 20 researchers of the IFPT develop concepts and solutions for current and future central challenges of the aviation industry.Legal notice: https://www.tuhh.de/ifpt/impressum.html
