Symposium on micro- and precision machining

Micromachining technologies were the theme of an interesting symposium organised by Mikrocentrum in collaboration with K.U.Leuven on 14 October in Leuven, Belgium. It once again showed that classic machining technologies like milling still are able to move their precision limits. The symposium also demonstrated that a nearly classic technology like chemical milling becomes more attractive by adding clever inventions. Materials like ceramics that were thought to be difficult to machine gain in application width by new insights in their forming and machining. And the symposium showed that combining existing technologies leads to new opportunities for realising high-tech precision products.

Order of frictions and stiffnesses…

For lumped systems consisting of different frictions and stiffnesses, there has been confusion in literature about hysteresis curves and virtual play for many decades.

Make it clean

In mid-April, the second edition of the Manufacturing Technology Conference and the fifth edition of the Clean Event were held together, for the first time, at the Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL).

Bringing particles to light

Particle contamination monitoring and cleanliness control are fundamental to micromanufacturing processes across diverse industries to achieve cost-effective production of high-quality and reliable microscale devices and components.
