Method for producing a plurality of composite structures

A method for the manufacture of a plurality of composite structures by joining, carried out in a radial press (R), respectively at least two components, respectively with plastic radial deformation at least of one of the components involved, wherein the process takes place by use of a system comprising a plurality of radial presses (R) installed at different locations (A, B, C), at which

• the radial presses (R) are respectively provided with a control unit (6) equipped with a PLC machine controller (5) and a BTLE communication module (7),
• a mobile terminal unit (8) suitable for communication with the BTLE communication module (7) of the radial press (R) in question is associated with each radial press (R),
• the mobile terminal units (8) are set up for communication via a mobile data network with a central server (10), which is installed at yet another location (D) and is equipped with a press program memory (11),
• wherein
• configuration programs used for setup of the respectively associated radial press (R) are stored on the mobile terminal units (8),
• the respective radial press (R) is set up via the associated mobile terminal unit (8) for a lot comprising a plurality of similar radial deformation processes, and specifically by configuration of the PLC machine controller (5) by means of a specific press program that takes into consideration program-specific data called in relation to the lot by the mobile terminal unit (8) from the central server (10), and
• the respective individual radial deformation process within the lot in question is triggered by triggering means (13) disposed on the radial press (R) itself.
