From 02 to 05.11.2024 the KSIT 2024 conference was held in Tály, Slovakia. It brought together experts from metallurgy, metallurgy and industry from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania. The event was also a celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the scientific journal Acta Metallurgica Slovaca.
Ing. Samuel Vilkovský took part in a one-month Erasmus+ Traineeship at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, which broadened his knowledge with additional academic opportunities. Within the framework of the above-mentioned stay at this faculty, he also focused on future scientific cooperation with this university in the field of forming under the guidance of prof. Pepelnjak. He extended his previous knowledge in the field of simulation of forming processes by the possibilities of using Neural Network and Random Forest methods, which contributed to a new insight into new modern research techniques and methodologies. His further experience from his stay at the University of Ljubljana Mr. Ing. Vilkovský can be read by clicking on the link below.
On 21.05.2024 company Sumitomo DEMAG representatives visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of TUKE. This company presented cutting-edge solutions in the field of plastic injection moulding technology, including a real demonstration on an injection moulding machine. The presentation was intended for employees of the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering, as well as for students and representatives of various companies from KE and the surrounding area. With her expertise in the field of plastic injection moulding, she pointed out the latest trends, tools as well as functions and control panels showing the entire injection moulding process. One of the many features was an introduction to the so-called activeMeltControl function, which adapts the injection moulding process to changes in material (including regranulate), automatic pressure adjustment, or correction of moulding weight fluctuations.
On 14.02.2024 Volvo Cars visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TUKE. They were interested in study programs oriented on the issue of automotive production, scientific and research activities and possibilities of further cooperation. There was a discussion about the possibility of applying our graduates within the company. A number of study programmes of our faculty offer a wide range of graduates who can find employment in the newly created company in Valaliky Industrial park. In the coming period, representatives of Volvo Cars will visit the laboratories and workplaces of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
