System for monitoring hydraulic pump systems in forming technology

Main objective of the project is to develop a system for inline condition monitoring to provide knowledge-based support for the operation of the hydraulic pumps used in hydraulic servo presses. The basis is a sensor system to be developed for the acquisition of the necessary information, which will be integrated in the hydraulic drive system. The linking of sensor data with technology-specific process and machine data is key for intelligent monitoring of machine components. The following objectives are addressed:

• (1) Identification and determination of measurable indicators of pump wear.
• (2) Sensor system for inline condition monitoring of the hydraulic pump system of press drives.
• (3) Algorithms for the structuring of heterogeneous data.
• (4) Evaluation & diagnostic algorithms for automated detection of the wear condition and critical operating conditions during press operation.
• (5) System for the integration of the monitoring system into existing plant technology and its commissioning.

Swedish partners in the project are IPercept Technology, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and AP&T. The German partners are HyPneu and Fraunhofer Institute (IWU).
