What makes Deep Tech VC different?
The Innovation Industries VC fund invests in deep tech companies with ground-breaking technologies that can address the fundamental challenges of our time. We get a lot of questions around the term deep tech, such as: what makes deep tech investing different? And why does it represent one of the best opportunities for LPs to achieve outsized returns?
KRACHT Electro Heat
We vonden het tijd worden om onze afdeling elektrowarmte een eigen identiteit te geven: KRACHT Electro Heat. Onze ovens, verwarmingselementen, silicone heaters, warmtekamers en lab apparatuur vindt u voortaan onder dit nieuwe rode label en op een nieuwe website. Het vertrouwde blauwe logo blijft van KRACHT voor onze glijlagers, kogellagers, lineaire lagers,…
Companies must analyze their data before they run an algorithm
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more important for businesses and consumers. But this is so much more than just technology. According to Natasja van de L’Isle, data science consultant at TMC, the outcome of AI systems can contain bias due to multiple causes. Read more
KMWE: Sluiting Fokkerfabrieken baart zorgen
De sluiting van twee vestigingen van Fokker en concentratie van de activiteiten in Papendrecht kan gevolgen hebben voor wat Nederland collectief te bieden heeft voor de Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Artikel [Bron: metaalmagazine.nl]
The bionic glove
People usually wear gloves for warmth or protection. There are gloves with other purposes, however, such as restoring mobility to the wearer’s fingers. This is the idea behind a mechatronic orthosis called the exomotion® hand one. The exomotion® hand one is worn like a glove and consists of custom-fitted exo-finger mechanics, a supporting forearm splint, a sensor, a control unit,…
Microlithography Lens
Microlithography lenses are used to project the image of an integrated circuit onto a silicon substrate. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a 21-element fused silica lens which has a NA of 0.56 which is designed to be used at a wavelength of 248nm. The lens, which has a total length of 1 meter, has a magnification of -0.25…
Precise, Dependable and Affordable Flow Meters for Oxygen Concentrators
An oxygen concentrator is rather simple in design: it works by separating oxygen from nitrogen and other gases that make up air, then delivers mostly oxygen to the oxygen concentrator user. Natural air contains approximately 21% oxygen, while a concentrator can output air consisting of up to 95% oxygen. Read more
We direct drive innovation in delta robots
The new generation of delta robots have one thing in common. Direct drive torque motors replace the well-known servo motors with gearbox. Brom Mechatronics worked together with Tecnotion on their newest innovative design. They used Tecnotion…
Three alternatives to gasoline
You probably read it in the news or noticed it when you were at the gas station: gasoline prices have risen sharply. A few weeks ago, the Dutch recommended retail price for Euro95 even reached a new record of €2.50 per liter. Meanwhile, the recommended retail price has dropped slightly to €2.43. Article
Measure and align geometric and rotational axes on machine tools
The XK10 alignment laser system has been developed to measure geometric and rotational errors of machine tools. Used with the XK10 machine tool fixturing kit, it enables faster and easier measurements over traditional methods, such as dial gauges, autocollimators and metrology artefacts. It can be used on linear rails to ensure that they are straight,…
