Linear slide type RTNG is designed to work in dirty environments
The slide consists of table parts of different lengths. The small distance between the upper and base parts protects the inside, the linear bearing, from contamination.The linear bearing consists of the anti-friction cross roller guide RSD. The guide is pre-loaded, allowing the slide to move without clearance and with repeatable precision. Learn more
Mikrocentrum sluit aan in sponsornetwerk De Ontdekfabriek
Door met een 3D pen met biologisch afbreekbaar plastic een handtekening te zetten markeerden Bert-Jan Woertman (Mikrocentrum) en Chris Voets (De Ontdekfabriek) de start van een nieuwe samenwerking: Mikrocentrum is officieel sponsor/partner van De Ontdekfabriek geworden! En dat dat een perfecte match is blijkt meteen: “De drift naar uitvinden, ontdekken, onderzoeken en maken zit diep. Net als de drang om samen te werken. Om…
Producing big titanium structures using 3D printing
Most of our clients thought it couldn’t be done. And to be honest: it took us years of innovation and investments in time and money, but together with Norsk Titanium we did it. Read more

Generating a Simulation Mesh of a Femur From 3D Data
Have you ever wondered how to create a simulation mesh out of data obtained by 3D imaging techniques? In this blog post, we will explain how to do so using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This topic expands on the theme of modeling irregular shapes, which we have explored in past blog posts. The processes we will discuss here are,…
Motion controllers for miniature drives and microdrives
FAULHABER has added another extremely compact Motion Controller without housing to its product range. The new Motion Controller is ideal for integration in equipment manufacturing and medical technology applications. With 36 V and 3 A (peak current 9 A), it covers the power range up to approx. 100 W and is suitable for DC-motors with encoder,…
Cracking the glass code
We have grown accustomed to metal and concrete printing. But glass? It not only has a very high melting point, it also becomes brittle after solidifying too quickly. Together with the German specialist in advanced solutions from high-performance materials QSIL we cracked the ‘glass code’. Key to that were accurate positioning and temperature control. QSIL…
Innoveer op plekken waar moeilijk mensen te vinden zijn
Ook binnen de windsector zijn er innovaties bedacht waarbij er minder mensen nodig zijn. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Slip Joint, een alternatief voor grout- of boutverbindingen. Twee kegelvormige uiteinden schuiven over elkaar en veroorzaken zo wrijving. Er ontstaat een stabiele verbinding, waarbij het niet meer nodig is dat er vakmensen handmatig de bouten bevestigen. Door…
