"Scanning Neutral Helium Microscopy: A novel tool for fast, nondestuctive characterisation of mechanical parameters for nanostructured coatings" (NEMI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"The majority of failures in pattern replication processes are caused by wear of forming and forging master tools. Tribology is the science applied for lowering the wear by developing advanced (nanostructured) coatings. However, even these coatings are subject to wear that manifest itself as changes in the mechanical properties of the master tool in the form of fractures, roughness changes (adhes ...

VISION ADVANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESEARCH (VISIONAIR)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

VISIONAIR is a project of creation of a European infrastructure that should be a unique, visible and attractive entry towards high level visualisation facilities. These facilities must be open to the access of a wide set of research communities. By integrating existing facilities, it will create a world-class research infrastructure enabling to conduct frontier research. This integration will prov ...

Plug and Produce Joint Interface Modules (PoPJIM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

PoPJIM identifies critical performance limiting problems in machine tool design and use. The project idea is based on two crucial innovative solutions: i) replacing conventional machine tool structural joint interfaces by a self configuring and optimising mechatronic module called Joint Interface Module, JIM, made of functional materials and ii) a wireless network consisting of these modules and a ...

Novel miniature machine tool design and realization for next generation high performance micro-components: A coupled-dynamic modelling and simulation approach (Sim-MMT)

Start date: Dec 9, 2011, End date: Dec 8, 2013,

The demand for micromachining is currently increasing with the reduced device dimensions in medical, electronics, aerospace and defense fields. As nanotechnology advances in leaps and bounds, the mechanical interface of these devices becomes more critical. Unfortunately, the techniques of micromachining have not been able to keep up with the advances in nanotechnology. This disparity between the t ...

Instantly Deployable Evolvable Assembly Systems (IDEAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Discussions held by the IDEAS consortium members with a wide range of industrial sectors all lead to the same conclusion: the further development of assembly equipment still requires sophisticated answers from science. In addition, current major road mapping efforts, such as ManuFuture, FutMan and EUPASS, clearly underlined that true industrial sustainability will require far higher levels of syst ...
