Controlled additive manufacturing of metal parts

IRPD, based in St. Gallen, is a specialist in additive machine tools with over 25 years of experience in this field. Development is heavily focused on high system throughput and consistently high process quality. This goal was achieved with the help of PC- and EtherCAT-based control and drive technology from Beckhoff, among other things.

What makes a cleanroom expensive (for the wrong reason)?

Cleanrooms often become expensive not because of technology, but because every project starts from scratch every single time. In many traditional projects, engineers redesign airflow concepts, pressure cascades, control strategies and wall systems again and again. As a result, specifications tend to accumulate without always questioning what the process truly requires. Read…

TDK introduceert robuuste 60 A en 80 A ORing-modules met snelle respons en een rendement tot 99,5 %

TDK Corporation introduceert de TDK-Lambda i1R ORing FET-modules, die kunnen werken bij 60 A of 80 A met een maximale ingangsspanning van 60 VDC. Deze ORing-modules zijn ontworpen ter vervanging van traditionele diodes in toepassingen die ORing-functionaliteit vereisen voor redundantie van de stroomvoorziening of parallelbedrijf. De i1R-serie maakt gebruik van MOSFET-gebaseerde schakelingen om superieure prestaties te…

Focus schoon produceren (cleanliness) moet verschuiven van het product naar het proces

Hans Cools, Manager Operations bij Meilink, herkent de analogie van de verzekering. Bedrijven dekken zich in tegen elk risico. “Niemand wil risico nemen. Zo druppelt reinigen in de keten door.” Moet je elk onderdeel dat aan een 1. Tier supplier geleverd wordt, reinigen om vervolgens de hele assemblage nog eens te reinigen? Hij vindt het lastig om een generiek antwoord te…
