Master's thesis: Development of a test setup to analyze dynamic mechanical loads during robot-guided handling of brake control systems (ESP)

Master's thesis at Bosch in Blaichach. During the automated packaging of modern car brake control systems, dynamic forces and accelerations occur whose effects have not yet been fully quantified. In this thesis you develop a measurement and test concept to capture the dynamic forces during robot handling and define limits for a future release procedure. Full-time, fixed-term, start by arrangement.

• In close cooperation with the team, you familiarize yourself with the existing automated packaging process and analyze the kinematic boundary conditions and load paths.
• You take over the design, construction and mechatronic instrumentation of a "test dummy" that reproduces the mass and stiffness behavior of the brake control system.
• To capture dynamic load peaks, you select suitable sensors and integrate and calibrate them in the measurement and test setup.
• You commission the test stand at the robot cell independently, carry out systematic measurement series and vary the handling parameters.
• After the tests, you evaluate the measurement data, determine critical acceleration and force limits and verify the dynamic load limits.
• You derive concrete recommendations and develop the methodological basis for a standardized release procedure in robot handling.

• Education: advanced Master's studies in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, automation engineering, vehicle engineering, electrical engineering or similar
• Knowledge of sensor technology and measurement technology
• Basic understanding of mechanics, vibration engineering and dynamics
• Experience with acceleration sensors and data acquisition as well as in design (CAD) and practical prototype building is an advantage
• Personality and working style: you impress with analytical thinking and an independent, structured approach
• Daily work: your on-site presence is required
• Enthusiasm: you enjoy experimental work directly at the interface to production
• Languages: fluent German and English
• A prerequisite for the thesis is enrollment at a university.
