WINNERS OF THE LAST YEARS
1st Place: PowerStack Multi 1600
The magazine is used for easy and safe storage of Euro pallets and collars. These can be placed in the magazine using a pallet truck, electric pallet truck or forklift. The magazine automatically picks up or retrieves the respective stored goods. It can also store up to 45 pallets or 16 collars. Up to 5 Euro pallets or 1 stacking frame can be stored at the same time.
Vitus Kehrer, Stefan Amerstorfer; Jakob Magauer and Jonas Wögerbauer, HTL-Neufelden
2nd Place: HASCY - HTLs ASFINAG Safety Cat
Tunnel surveillance system HASCY, a sled equipped with multiple cameras that can travel the tunnel on rails on the ceiling. Since a thermal imaging camera is also mounted, people can be detected even in the densest smoke. This optimizes the work of rescue workers and increases the chance of survival for accident victims. HASCY travels at up to 100 km/h in the tunnel and is remotely controlled by ASFINAG's operations control center.
Gilbert Tanner, Gabriel Tanner, Lukas Frisch, Emanuel Ladinig, Daniel Morak and Luca Jörg, HTL Klagenfurt
3rd Place: CNC laser cutting and engraving machine for individual single part production
A large machining area of at least 600mm x 400mm x 100mm (X,Y,Z) with a machining speed of at least 100mm/s was required. A total of around 60 different components were developed and manufactured in-house, and the machine itself consists of over 450 different components. The machine to be developed is to be used mainly for the work steps of engraving nameplates, cutting out covers for live components, cutting out retaining elements in control cabinets, manufacturing in-house standard parts and illustrating technical processes for interns and trainees in in-house production.
Moritz Exner, Sebastian Schnehage and Oliver Körber, Werner-von-Siemens Schule Hildesheim
