This year, we showcased our new Real-Time Control Platform, a development platform that combines high-precision components such as a dovetail air stage, flat air bearings, piezo actuators and capacitive sensors. The real time control system with 5 kHz control frequency demonstrated live metrology powered nanometre precision, steering a 4DOF stage. Suitable for a mix of high precision inputs (IFM, analogue sensors and digital encoders), this control system has been applied for 2pm resolution 6DOF control in our latest measurement machines. Also integrated were our latest differential inductive sensor systems, used to track the rotational motion of our stage in A and B directions at bandwidths of 29KHz and 7nm resolution. Reach out to our experts for further details.
When testing (race) car aerodynamics in windtunnels, it is essential to simulate on-road conditions. High pressure air bearings in moving ground systems (rolling roads) avoid upward suction of the belt in areas of rapid air movement and guarantee zero friction between belt and bearing. The air film stabilizes and cools the belt and thus reduces the drive power needed for the moving ground system. We offer air bearing solutions in all sorts of industrial applications.
Theresa Spaan-Burke, a Dutch member of VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V.), was invited by VDMA to co-present highlights from their study on the European semiconductor market and its implications for business climates. This was part of the Precision Fair 2023 lecture program on Day 1. Theresa discussed market developments in semiconductors, emphasizing their critical role in industrial products and how shifts in geography and geopolitics impact their stability. The VDMA study highlighted opportunities and challenges for the mechanical engineering sector.
To add an extra allure to our stand we offered an authentic Den Bosch delight to our visitors: Bossche Bollen!
On Day two we welcomed the students of TU Delft and TU Twente who arrived at the Precision Fair by bus. We co-sponsored the TU Twente bus and organized the Hilarious Science Quiz, providing onboard entertainment for the students from W.S.G. Isaac Newton (TU Twente) during their journey to the Precision Fair.
We congratulate the winners of the quiz:
Alex and Nils & Viktor, we hope you enjoy your ‘Noble prize’.
Aran, Teun and Jurian, we're certain the toolset will prove useful.
