Technology Campus Cham

Mechatronics & Automation

Research, development and teaching in the field of mechatronic systems is the central task of the Technology Campus (TC) in Cham. A modern, attractive research and development centre, which fits ideally into the regional, industrial landscape of the Cham district, was created on the banks of the river Regen.

Companies interested are provided with laboratories on the following research topics:

Mechatronic Systems and Production Engineering
Sensors / Actuators, Robotics
Control Techniques

In addition to a pilot plant for the construction of production plants, robot systems or machine components, there are further laboratories for factory simulation (2D and 3D), for rapid prototyping as well as production and automation technology.

About the Technology Campus Cham

The central tasks of the Technology Campus Cham encompass research, development and teaching in the field of mechatronic systems. A broad spectrum of different topics from the field of mechatronics, such as mechatronic production technology, rapid prototyping, robotics or simulation technology, are represented at the TC Cham.

In conjunction with research and technology transfer in direct contact with the industry, training and continuing education play an important role. In the laboratory, students from the region are introduced to the technical content of mechatronics by means of selected experimental set-ups.

In addition to awakening interest in modern technology, this is also intended to support the commitment of young engineers to the region.

A consistent step in this direction are courses directly taught on campus. Teaching initially began on October 4, 2011. Since October 2018, the undergraduate programme "Mechatronics Majoring in Digital Production" has been complemented by the two postgraduate programmes "Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems" as well as "Artificial Intelligence for Smart Sensors and Actuators".

Technical further education, subject-related as well as part-time in a broader environment, is a further pillar of the activities adherent to the Technology Campus. Furthermore, a wide range of courses is tailored to the needs of the regional industry, covering topics from the mechatronic environment. Other courses, such as part-time postgraduate programmes, are developed according to industrial needs.

TC Cham Academy

The TC Academy offers targeted seminars on advanced technical training from the R & D range of topics of the Technology Campus Cham.

Topic fields include:

Control and automation technology
Handling technology/robotics
Production engineering
Engineering know-how in the mechatronic environment

The seminars take place as one and two-day events at TC Cham. The theoretical course contents are supported by practical work in the pilot plant or the laboratories of the Technology Campus.

If required, the seminars can also be conducted "in-house".

Current seminar topics:

Industrial Ethernet in Automation - Function, Features, System Comparison
Control programming with CodeSys and related systems
Plant Safety - new machinery directive
Simulation of Mechatronic Systems with MATLAB/Simulink and Scilab

Planned seminar topics:

Modern electric drive systems - basics, structure, control, NC control
Additive manufacturing processes (rapid prototyping - laser sintering)
LabView programming
Control engineering with SPS and microcontrollers
