However, this process presents significant challenges due to the high abrasiveness of composite fibres and the requirement for tools to cut through different materials simultaneously. These factors contribute to hole damage and rapid tool wear, hindering the efficiency of the machining process. In this paper, multi-material stacks composed of carbon fibre reinforced polymer and aluminium layers were drilled with chemical vapour deposition diamond coated tools to infer on parameter combination (feed and cutting speed) and conditions required to improve the process, as well as reduce/mitigate delamination. A fracture characterization campaign, through the double cantilever beam testing, was performed to correlate the composite's fracture toughness with the maximum force on the onset of delamination, to prevent hole and surface damage.

By reusing these materials, it not only reduces waste, but also contributes significantly to reducing CO2 emissions, as recycling requires less energy compared to producing new materials. The main process in recycling is sorting materials, which is still carried out manually and involves skilled workers. These methods can be labour-intensive and ineffective. Therefore, introducing automation and partial automation to this sorting process can make a big difference. This paper aims to design an automated sorting system using the image information from two camera systems and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which provides information on the chemical composition of the sample in a measurement range of about 100 µm. Due to the heterogeneity of building debris, real-time selection of suitable measuring points on the sample surface is necessary for the targeted use of LIBS. An algorithm is developed that automatically determines suitable measuring points based on the sample topology recorded by a distance sensor and the RGB data from a video camera. Therefore, clustering (k-means) is applied to the RGB-data to gather information on the heterogeneity. LIBS-measurable areas are extracted from the distance sensor's data. A tree of possible measurements is built, and the highest rated branch provides the measurement positions for LIBS. The results show that the algorithm finds suitable measurement positions in which the heterogeneity of the surface composition is mapped. Particularly in the case of limited measurement points the algorithm provides positions for high surface representation of the LIBS data. The validation of the developed system is carried out on synthetic data and testing on photogrammetrically recorded real samples. The refinement of the sample's material map (e.g by optimizing the clustering) can elevate the method towards industrial usability. This will contribute to the implementation of circular economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"131 ","pages":"Pages 94-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluation is based on the machining forces, delamination on the surfaces and the surface roughness. In addition, the influence of the bond and the abrasive on the machining forces and the wear behaviour of the tools is investigated. The results show that the machining forces depend heavily on the machining conditions. With certain machining parameters, dry machining induces higher process forces than wet machining. In addition, dry and MQL machining causes more residue of the machined material to adhere to the workpiece and tool. The forces and quality of the machined workpieces using minimum quantity lubrication are almost identical to the results of wet machining. From this point of view, minimum quantity lubrication is a good strategy for CFRP grinding. The cleaning effort for the workpieces and the machine should also be taken into the consideration. The chip spaces of vitrified bonded grinding tools tend to be filled with chips caused loading of the wheel. Finally, the study shows that grinding with cooling lubricant outperforms dry machining and results in better quality parts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"131 ","pages":"Pages 50-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
