Development of a cupping test in remote laboratories for engineering education

Abstract

A remote controlled cupping test for sheet metal as material characterization for forming technology is presented. This formability test is included in a tele-operative testing cell consisting of an additional testing machine, an industrial robot, and other necessary components for the automation and execution of experiments. First, a methodology is introduced explaining how the remote cupping test is realized. Afterwards, the integration of the cupping test in a remote laboratory is presented.

Online engineering education for manufacturing technology: Is a remote experiment a suitable tool to teach competences for “Working 4.0”?

“…In order to assess the origin of the texts, it should be noted that no article directly addressed the topic of Industry 4.0, but all focused on technical subjects or higher engineering education. A total of 15 publications of the ELLI remote laboratory research group was evaluated (Haertel, Terkowsky, May, & Pleul, ; May, Ortelt, & Tekkaya, ; May, Sadiki, Pleul, & Tekkaya, ; May, Terkowsky, Haertel, & Pleul, , ; Meya et al, ; Ortelt et al, ; Ortelt, Pekasch, Lensing, Gueno, May, & Tekkaya, ; Pleul, ; Sadiki et al, ; Selvaggio, Sadiki, Ortelt, Meya, Becker, Chatti, & Tekkaya, ; Terkowsky & Haertel, ; Terkowsky et al, ; Terkowsky et al, ; Terkowsky, May, Haertel, & Pleul, ).…”
