DANOBATGROUP seeks to boost technological research and innovation in advanced manufacturing processes. Every year the business group recognises the best project in industrial development carried out by students of the TECNUN Master´s Degree in Industrial Engineering, at the Higher School of Engineering of the University of Navarra.
With the aim of developing closer links between academia and the business world, the machine tool manufacturer DANOBATGROUP has recognised like the best industrial development project on “Turning of pipes and couplings in a machining environment” carried out by the students of the TECNUN (the University of Navarra Higher School of Engineering) Industrial Engineering Masters course.
This prize falls within the collaboration agreement framework signed by DANOBATGROUP and TECNUN in December 2015. The aim of this agreement is to promote the involvement of students in the professional world and offer them the opportunity to develop and transfer the knowledge acquired in the classroom to real industrial manufacturing environments.
DANOBATGROUP has awarded the prize for the best conceptual design and precision engineering project to the students of the TECNUN Industrial Engineering Masters course. The project involved taking on a practical challenge by the 33 students, who had the opportunity to develop their knowledge and put it into practice. The project was of technological value for the Machine-Tool sector within the area of Design and Precision Engineering of a grinder.
This activity is included within the collaboration framework signed between DANOBATGROUP and TECNUN last December, through which theoretical training is combined with projects and experiences in a real environment as the final objective. University and company go hand-in-hand to demonstrate to future engineers the activities developed in the area of Research and Industry. They are informed of the need of a high qualification and other necessary competencies to participate in and successfully meet the new future challenges within the machine tool sector.
The agreement will enable the future engineers to gain a realistic and practical in-depth knowledge of Industry 4.0 processes.
Antxon López Usoz, Director of Innovation of DANOBATGROUP, and Iñigo Puente, director of TECNUN, have signed a collaboration agreement that will provide the future engineers with first-hand knowledge of projects and experiences of the leading machine-tool manufacturer in Spain.
