Dust: 0 particles. Something many of us can only dream of.
At home, dust always comes back. In our flow cabinets it does not get the chance. A flow cabinet blows filtered air over the work surface in one steady direction, so dust and other particles are carried away from the product. Our Fluke 985 particle counter measured 0 particles from 0.3 µm up. That is…

The Motion Controller — More Than a Command Generator
In Part #3, I wrote about what turns individual precision components into one integrated motion system. An essential part of that system is the motion controller. But what does a motion controller actually do? At first glance, its role seems straightforward: execute commands and move the axes to their required positions. In reality, there is…
Digital vacuum gauges measure better than analog ones. Right?
It sounds logical. Newer communication technology, more functionality, more data. Surely the measurement improves, too? Not necessarily. Read more [Picture source: Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions on linkedin.com]
Inline wafer scanning
Reliable wafer inspection requires more than high-resolution imaging. Scan speed, image quality and accurate positioning all play an important role in photonic wafer manufacturing. Working alongside IMS, LioniX International and Settels Savenije, Nobleo has contributed to the development and validation of an inline wafer scanning solution that combines high-magnification optical inspection with a…
Automated sealant application in aerospace manufacturing with 3D machine vision
How can sealants be applied accurately and consistently to large components with complex geometries? French robotics specialist AKEOPLUS has developed an automated robotic cell that replaces a previously manual process in aerospace manufacturing. Using MVTec HALCON machine vision software, the system determines the actual position and orientation of the components and adjusts the robot’s movements…

Trenchless renovation
As is the case with any type of infrastructure, sewers require regular maintenance. But the often narrow pipes below the ground are difficult to access. Instead of unearthing them at great expense, users of trenchless renovation procedures use specialized robots that carry out the work in the interior of the pipelines. Pipetronics is a market…
