TU Delft-studenten ontwikkelen exoskelet waarmee iemand met een dwarslaesie zelfstandig en zonder krukken door een museum kan lopen

Project MARCH XI, een multidisciplinair studententeam van de TU Delft, heeft het nieuwe ontwerp van zijn exoskelet gepresenteerd. Het team wil dit jaar aantonen dat iemand met een dwarslaesie zelfstandig door een museumzaal kan bewegen, met de handen vrij en zonder krukken, en kunst kan bekijken op de hoogte waarop het bedoeld is om bekeken te worden. De eindpresentatie staat…

Cleanroom and Machine Expansion in Malaysia

In just three months, our team at Hittech Wemac in Malaysia completed a new 650-square-metre cleanroom in compliance with ISO 14644 Class 7, meeting temperature, humidity, and ESD requirements at their new plant in Penang. But that’s not all, says their managing director, Paul Morach: ‘While the cleanroom is ready for manufacturing, we are already waiting…

Understanding the Benefits of MS-Based Detection in TPRx

Temperature-Programmed Reaction (TPRx) offers essential insight into how catalysts behave during temperature ramps. By observing the gases released or consumed during controlled heating, researchers can determine activation temperatures, identify reaction pathways, and evaluate material stability. The quality of the information derived from TPRx depends on the performance of the detector used to monitor the evolving gas…

Petter Lind – Turning data into sustainable impact

During his traineeship, Petter developed a Power BI dashboard for KMWE that brings clear, data-driven insights into their return logistics process. Where the team previously relied mainly on physically monitoring what was happening on the factory floor, they…

Sonos Optimizes MEMS Microphone Design to Reduce Distortion from Wind Noise

MEMS microphones can be found in a wide variety of consumer products, including cellphones, laptops, and smartwatches. While these bite-sized acoustic sensors are able to process sound sources that vary greatly in tone, timbre, and application, distortion caused by wind noise has proven to be a design challenge since the beginning of this technology’s development.

Continuous development of the I/O system for the control cabinet

Users have long appreciated Beckhoff’s EtherCAT Terminals for their excellent performance, modular scalability, and user-friendliness. The entire portfolio has received a technological upgrade with the ED series: modernized design, tool-free assembly, and app-based diagnostics make signal acquisition more efficient than ever. Existing series remain fully mechanically compatible: the user-friendly ED series sets a standard for the…
