The aim of the project is to develop a new product in the form of an innovative, automated instrumentation line for assembly and welding of the chassis of rail vehicles and its production technology through R & D. The objective is due to the fact that, according to the current situation, there is a very low degree of process automation within the rail vehicle manufacturing industry, as a result of the specificities of this sector. The realisation of small-scale, large-size production, including the need to take into account several hundred welded elements and subassemblies (including movable components) is a very demanding construction task, which determines new functional solutions. The scope of the tests includes laboratory tests (both in computer simulation conditions and the actual execution of the components) and real (prototypical manufacturing process and testing under operational conditions). The research team will be composed of experts, executive staff and a scientific unit.
