The power of precision

Mifa Aluminium specializes in precision extrusion of (complex) aluminium and magnesium profiles. We can extrude aluminium profiles with dimensional tolerances from +/- 0,02 mm tolerance, directly into the extrusion. Our capabilities gives you an enormously freedom in designing a product. With our co-engineering, together we can create an optimal product against the best costs. We also can deliver a complete product by adding machining, surface treatment (anodizing), bending or assembly to the extrusion. Our unique possibilities even helps you to be fully conscious with your CO2 footprint. Experience it for yourself, experience Mifa.

Precision Cleaning Chemicals/Processes for high cleanliness grades

  • Ir. Roger Theunissen Senior Expert Precision Cleaning Processes / Contamination Control, CeConEx in opdracht van FenS bv Goes

In deze voordracht wordt besproken hoe de werkwijze is van FenS/Borer om zelfs de meest complexe vraagstukken op te lossen op gebied van de hoogste reinheid specificaties. Dit betreft bijvoorbeeld Grade 1&2 voor toeleveranciers van onder andere de halfgeleiderproductie, vacuümindustrie en ruimtetechnologie.
Ook wordt uitgelegd hoe knelpunten (bijvoorbeeld  verkleuringen en vlekken) aangepakt kunnen worden door een modulaire opbouw van reinigingsprocessen op waterbasis.
Bij deze aanpak staat centraal dat de gebruiker zo min mogelijk zelf hoeft te testen en voorzien wordt van een compleet reinigingsproces (chemie + parameters).  Hiermee wordt de gebruiker zoveel mogelijk ontzorgd.

Impact of tolerances on manufacturability and cost when producing via Metal Additive Manufacturing

  • Rob van Loon Additive Manufacturing Engineer, KMWE Precision BV

An increase of lasers in modern AM machines, as well as progress on process parameters results in more components being suited for production with AM. These are often parts currently produced with subtractive manufacturing.

Besides adjustments to part design, it is always beneficial to rethink the tolerances set on part or assembly as best practices used in subtractive manufacturing like milling can have an adverse effect on part manufacturability and cost if produced via AM.

In this lecture we would like to show what is with the AM process, what can be achieved with post-processing and what should be avoided to create cost effective functional components.

First time right The prediction of deformations in LPBF 3D printed parts using state of the art commercial software

Among various additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) stands out as a leading technology, enabling the production of intricate metal parts layer by layer. However, LPBF is not without its challenges, with thermal deformations being a key concern. Fontys University of Applied Sciences has leveraged Siemens NX Additive Manufacturing for digital simulations to predict and address these thermal deformations in LPBF, thus enhancing precision and part quality. Importantly, ongoing developments and refinements in software and techniques emphasize the dynamic nature of this field, as software vendors continually strive to optimize LPBF technology for improved outcomes.

Industrieel AM in Metalen

In IAMM werken drie hogescholen (Fontys, Windesheim, Saxion) samen, aangevuld met universiteiten (Delft, Enschede), bedrijven en netwerkorganisaties. Met elkaar onderzoeken ze en delen ze kennis over verschillende vormen van metaalprinten. Niet alleen de techniek komt aan bod, maar ook andere aspecten die van belang zijn voor een succesvolle adoptie in de productieketen. De diversiteit in de groep, ook geografisch, staat garant voor een veel omvattende aanpak omwille van een effectieve doorgroei van additive manufacturing als complementaire vervaardigingsoplossing.

Flexibility and shorter changeover times in assembly processes

The need for validating and optimizing assembly performance quickly and reliably for new/updated products is growing. In a joint project, Etteplan developed a solution for the back-end assembly of photonic products where flexibility and short changeover times in the production sequence is a crucial element. This flexibility was important to optimize and shorten the lead time of the R&D process. Based on open source software, Etteplan developed this solution for their machine platform combining a simple and efficient block based programming interface, enabling product companies and foundries to program and configure the machine’s production sequence and parameters themselves.

The devil is in the details; tolerances are the key to success

  • Tijs Teepen co-Founder and Managing Director, STEF med tech

Looking at past projects it is clear that failures always arise from or are initiated by small details. The analysis of the tolerances handles just that, the details. But the misconception, which is a result of the misinterpretation of the famous V model of system engineering, is that there is a specific time to tackle these details. That is not the most efficient and effective way. In this lecture I will describe give examples and pointers on how to handle and target these details. Including a few examples on the broad spectrum of elements to think about when defining the tolerances.

Supervisory controller specification, analysis and synthesis with the LSAT tool

Supervisory control is an important aspect in high-precision equipment, to coordinate subsystem actions such that the functional requirements are satisfied, and the productivity is optimized. In this presentation we introduce LSAT, a tool to specify supervisory controllers and to analyze their performance. Special focus will be on a newly developed engine, that automatically executes LSAT specifications on a target platform, thereby relieving developers from the manual, laborious and error-prone implementation step of these controllers. LSAT is used in a number of companies in the Netherlands to specify supervisor behavior, to perform mechanical layout analysis and to optimize throughput.
