Fully automated bending

At VDM we have recently installed and commissioned our fully automated bending machine.This machine is for making complex bends on round bars without any interruption, you just need to refill the (hopper) feeder once in a while. See our full process in the movie.

Diving info the realm of microfluidics

LouwersHanique Selective Laser-Induced Etching technology (SLE) allows the creation of highly precise custom-made microfluidic devices in technical glass. The power of femtosecond laser processing enables us to create 3D microstructures inside glass, eliminating the need for moulds, minimizing surface damage, and ensuring a perfect channel formation.

Superconductors in industrial automation

Superconductors have tremendous potential for future industrial applications. They enable objects to be suspended and moved without contact, with low power consumption and without any control technology at all for the suspension. Their dust- and abrasion-free operation makes them ideal for the protected transport of levitating objects in very clean environments. It even makes handling functions…
