• material marking is only a standard for purely material recycling of raw material
• There are many different chains and recycling routes
17. Intelligent Material Marking
• A novel approach is the marking or saving
of data for :
• ReUse
• Remanufacture or
• Refurbish
• In CarE-Service the aim is:
• collect much more information
connected to part or product
beside the single material
information.
• The focus is to have precise information
which are fitting to special processes for
reuse, remanufacture and refurbish

34. the non-destructive desoldering of car-body parts is basically possible with
the technology that has been developed
to increase the process speed, further process optimization are required
a promising approach is the use of a high-speed thermal camera, which is
used for example for laser hardening
further optimizations of the process are not possible within the scope of the

39. Concept:
Sheet Metal Re-Manufacturing Technology
Principle approach / Value Chain
Aim: Reduce ressource consumption by use of secondary raw material
(SRM) blanks instead of re-melting and roll-milling of recycled material.
Task: Consider mechanical, geometrical and other impacts
on SRM quality which is caused by the previous life cycle.

41. Concept:
Sheet Metal Re-Manufacturing Technology
Process Chain
Low-Tech Approach:
- measurement of sheet metal thickness at single, discrete points
- extraction with handheld sheet metal cutter
trimline depends on operator‘s skills
no defined blank size achievable
re-trim of blank required
- manual marking of blank (thickness/…)
Benefit: lowest fix cost for equipment
Issues: higher labour cost and additional
operations (defined trimming) necessary

High-Tech Approach:
- measurement of sheet metal thickness at several points,
- curvature check by e.g. optical measurement system
- extraction with NC-controlled device:
well-defined, repeatable trimline geometry
direct use for forming operation
- automated marking and traceability of blank
Benefit: detailed information, repeatable quality,
quick processing and low labour cost
Issues: investment in automation required (SMM)

Establishment of a representative curvature factor
- summarizing the product of a double-curved blank shape
- allowing a separation of convex / concave bowls
- providing a quality parameter for SRM blanks
- Impact of previous forming and heat treatment
(generalized mechanical influence)
- to flow curve and
