About
Karsten Richter is a researcher specializing in flexible sheet metal forming, with a focus on robotic rollforming and virtual sensing for geometry prediction. His work addresses the challenge of economically producing complex sheet metal parts in low volumes, particularly for the aeronautical sector, where improving the buy-to-fly ratio is critical. Richter’s major contributions include developing a virtual sensor-based method to predict the geometry of complex parts formed by robotic rollforming, enabling precise manufacturing without expensive tooling. This approach, detailed in his 2023 paper (5 citations), allows for accurate part production even at low manufacturing rates. Additionally, his 2021 work (4 citations) explores the flexible production of profile components from batch size 1, using an incremental robotic rollforming process with a roller head positioned by a robot arm. With a total of 9 citations across his most-cited papers, Richter’s research is impactful for advancing cost-effective, flexible manufacturing techniques. His work is notable for bridging the gap between traditional sheet metal forming and the need for adaptable, low-volume production, making him a key figure in the field of incremental forming and robotic manufacturing.
