Innovations in textile technology: The DFG project SonicFibre
As part of our joint project at the Institute of Applied Mechanics (IAM) and @Institute of Textile Technology (ITA), we are working on an exciting development: the production of nonwovens with optimized efficiency.
💡 The challenge: During needling, a central process step, the fibers are entangled by mechanical movement in order to produce a stable nonwoven from a loose fiber bundle. This creates high frictional forces – a problem that leads to wear on the machine parts.
🔊 Our solution: We optimize the friction between the fibres through the targeted excitation of high-frequency vibrations in the ultrasonic range. Our focus is on stimulating a perforated plate in the ultrasonic range in such a way that a suitable vibration pattern is generated – and thus making the process more efficient and gentle.

Automated robotic dismantling/disassembly – screw detection and removal for electric vehicle recycling
Fully automatic disassembly with precision!
Our new robotic system is revolutionizing the disassembly of electric car batteries. Using the Neura Lara 8 robot and the latest image processing technologies, we recognize screws fully automatically and position the robot precisely to remove them safely.
Thanks to the integration of YOLOv8 and Intel RealSense depth cameras, the system can locate screws in real time and position them optimally on its own. No manual intervention necessary – the system works completely autonomously!
Our goal: to make the recycling process safer, faster and more efficient. Fewer risks for workers and maximizing the recovery of raw materials at the same time. This is the future of the circular economy!
