The Production Technology laboratory houses a flexible manufacturing and assembly system, a so-called iCIM system. Different products can be produced fully automatically on the system. Various programs can be started and different production processes executed.

Practicals for the following modules are carried out in the PT laboratory:
- Work preparation / CNC programming
- Industrial robot technology
- Applied C technology / CAM
- Project manufacturing systems
- Material flow systems

Assignment of internships to subjects and degree programs:
Work preparation / CNC programming for the degree programs:
                  Mechanical engineering
                  Industrial engineering
Industrial robotics for the degree programs:
          Mechanical Engineering
                  Industrial Engineering
                  Mechatronics
CAD-CAM for the degree program:
          Mechanical Engineering
Manufacturing Control for the degree programs:
                  Mechanical Engineering
                  Industrial Engineering
Manufacturing Systems for the degree program:
                  Mechanical Engineering/Production

The practicals are prepared in the PC pool. The relevant software is used for this and the corresponding simulations are carried out on the PC. The simulation results are then checked and evaluated in the production engineering laboratory. The entire iCIM system is not always used for this, but individual machines are included. These are, for example, the lathe, the milling machine or the individual robots.
