Duo presentation: High precision alignment in the CERN accelerator complex
- Dr. Hélène Mainaud Durand Geodetic Metrology Group Leader, CERN
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, builds the largest tools on Earth to study the smallest constituents of matter: colliders and detectors. Its flagship is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27 km long collider. The Geodetic Metrology group at CERN provides metrology and alignment of components installed in the accelerators, their beam transfer lines and the physics experiments. It also performs R&D related to these tasks for upgrades of existing machines and for future accelerator. In this presentation, I will present the instrumentation and methods developed for the current accelerator complex and then introduce the new alignment systems under preparation for the LHC upgrade.

Active isolation platforms for scientific instruments
- Christophe Collette Professor, University of Liege
Scientific instruments are known to be extremely precise and demanding in terms of disturbance rejection. Stringent requirements on new instruments often require mounting sensitive parts on multi-degree-of freedom active isolation platforms. However, after several decades of research and development, converting performance objectives into efficient mechatronic designs remains an art due to non-trivial factors such as non-linearities, residual couplings or subtle control-structure interactions. Most of the time, new objectives induce new design trade-offs, imposing a specific dedicated design.
This presentation will cover several recent prototypes of active vibration isolation platforms and give some insight about the design methodology and technical choice made to reach a high level of performance.

Quantum computing: from idea to implementation
- Ir. Richard Versluis Principal Systems Engineer, TNO
Quantum Computers carry great promises for the future. By exploiting the power of quantum-mechanical principles like tunneling, superposition, entanglement and wave interference, computers can be built that have the (potential) power to solve mathematical problems that cannot be solved by any classical computing system available now or in the near future. Although quantum-mechanics sometimes appears elusive and counter-intuitive, the principles that underly quantum computers can be very well explained. In this talk, the fascinating principles behind quantum computers will be explained. Some common technologies will be shown, using these principles to build quantum computers and control them with high accuracy.

The world needs negative CO2 emissions! Why and how?
- Ir. Jasper Simons CTO, Carbyon
Humans have emitted vast amounts of CO2 in the past 200 years and the emissions are still rising. The resulting climate change is (by far) the biggest challenge we have ever faced!
Carbyon is a startup company developing novel equipment to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere (direct air capture; DAC). This technology allows us to slow down, stop and eventually even reverse climate change! This lecture will explain how climate change works, why we need negative emissions to solve it and how Carbyon’s equipment will contribute.

Photo Chemical etching: unknown but versatile non-conventional machining process
- Ir. Eric Kemperman Research & QSHE Manager, Etchform
Photo Chemical Etching is one of the very few manufacturing techniques to produce (metal) precision parts without adding tension or burrs to the material. Although it’s not very well-known, etched parts can be found in almost all market segments. The process can be both a batch process for small to medium volumes and a reel-to-reel process for high volume.
During this presentation the different possibilities, advantages and applications of these two processes will be discussed, also in comparison to other manufacturing techniques.

Virtual Commissioning with Model-Based Design
- Tadele Shiferaw, PhD Senior Application Engineer, MathWorks BV
Virtual commissioning enables early test and verification of machine software by using simulation model of a machine. With the growing complexity of machinery, a system model can be used to validate interaction between mechanics, software, and the product being manufactured can be tested, optimized and verified in different scenarios before the physical machine is available. This lecture will consider the design of a tension controller for a plastic packaging machine as an example to highlight how virtual commissioning lowers costs, ensures high product quality, and speeds up commissioning times.

Additive Micromanufacturing (µAM) of metal objects with resolution starting at 1µm
- Edgar Hepp CEO, Exaddon AG
The relentless drive to miniaturize metal components has set a welcoming stage for additive micromanufacturing (µAM). Here we present a µAM technology that is a combination of fluidic scanning probe microscopy and 3D printing.
A plating electrolyte for copper is locally delivered to print a voxel. The electrodeposition process is locally enabled by a hollow, microchanneled cantilever with a nanoscale nozzle. The one-step process is a room temperature manufacturing method which yields high-quality, pure metal. Various metals like Cu, Au, Ag, Ni and Pt can be printed.
An object is built up sequentially out of 3D building blocks, termed voxels. Accurate control of the air pressure used to expel the electrolyte from the nozzle opening enables tuning of the voxel diameter, and thus object size. Further reduction of voxel diameter is possible through use of a modified nozzle aperture.
With this technique nanowires of 200 nm in diameter, or objects based on voxel printing with resolutions starting at 1µm can be manufactured. Even honeycomb lattices built up with thousands of voxels can be done.
This technology drives additive micromanufacturing of metals well beyond its current state.

Frezen van 3D vormen in 2 micron met spiegel oppervlakte ruwheid SA <10nm
- Ing. Mark Camps Directeur, Machining Innovations NL (Machinno)
Introductie van het frezen van 3D spiegel oppervlaktes met een ruwheid van Sa＜10nm. Wat staat aan de basis is frezen binnen toleranties van 2 micron, keuze van gereedschappen en bewerkingsstrategieën. Maar een proces moet stabiel zijn en aanpasbaar aan de huidige omstandigheden. Onmisbaar voor deze uitdagende toleranties is dan ook de slimme besturing, niet alleen programma’s lezen maar ook zelf in geautomatiseerd proces meten en herschrijven. Spiegelfrezen maakt polijsten overbodig, geeft mogelijkheden voor vele producten, maar het gaat vooral om het stabiele proces wat de uitkomst bepaald. Hierin nemen wij u mee hoe dit te realiseren.
