Our articles present knowledge and ideas, gained from our ultra-precision engineering projects to our research & development programmes.
The Dutch Society for Precision Engineering invited IBS's owner Henny Spaan, being one of the entrepreneurial pioneers in Dutch metrology, to write the editorial for the September 2022 issue of Mikroniek, professional journal on precision engineering of DSPE.
See how a range of aspheres are qualified using latest CMM techniques.
Read why international standards such as ISO are so important to manufacturing and to IBS (Dutch).
The ALICE detector at CERNs hadron collider is due for upgrade in 2021. Read how IBS has supported CERN and partner institutes worldwide with sensor module assembly machines.
In the production of flexible electronics, in-line 3D metrology of nanometer-scale features revolutionise the production process making time-consuming off-line measurements for process control unnecessary.
Web-guiding and in-line metrology innovations deliver nanometre precision for inspection of printed electronics.
Together with their colleagues Rens van der Nolle (Mechanical Engineer at IBS) and Werner Knapen (Account Manager Bosch Rexroth) built a linear precision module for in-line surface measurements of foil (Dutch).
CMMs are widely used for 3D metrology of parts in science and industry. ISARA 400 advances coordinate metrology into ultra-precision accuracy.
This whitepaper presents an analysis on the stability of the pivot line of rotary axes using a fast and accurate 3D measuring method to determine the dynamic 5-axis performance of the machine
In the course of machine tool accuracy investigations many methods have been developed. This paper focuses on methods suitable for automation and hence industrial application.
Turbine manufacturing is a high-complexity, high-precision process requiring true 6-axis grinding. Read how Blohm Jung are addressing this challenge.
At IBS we support companies to measure and optimise their machines, in line with best practice. This article presents a fast and accurate method for the dynamic 3D measurement of thermal stability
Magtrol is a leader in the manufacturing of motor testing equipment. They have successfully implemented both radial bearings and air bushings into their test and calibration suite to improve their product quality.
Exploiting air bearings in roll-to-roll. Non-contact, almost zero friction, and no static build-up benefits production processes.
In roll-to-roll processes for printed electronics, avoiding web contact is critical to reduce damage and contamination. Air bearings deliver contactless, precision control for printing, drying and inspection processes.
How can you shape substrates to your wishes without even touching them. Read how the magic is done.
Air bearings can be exploited by mechanical engineers to extend their design capabilities for precision manufacturing systems. Read about some surprising new applications.
