Process Engineering

This special field revolves around processes for modifying material properties (milling, cooling), composition (filtration, distillation) and type (oxidation, hydration).

Valuable information is available on a broad range of technologies including material separation, laser processes, measuring techniques and robot engineering in addition to testing methods and coating and materials analysis processes.

Electrostatic surface cleaning

For example, there should be no particles larger than five micrometers on the packaging film of food and medicines, as these could contaminate the contents….

Fibre laser quietly revolutionizes the world

Its advantages are obvious: due to the fibre design the beam quality is close to perfect, hence best possible focus ability even with very long operating…

Compact Laser System for the Exploration of Planetary Surfaces

The prototype consisting of a laser head and electronics is extremely compact and weighs only 187 g. The laser system can be used in a so called “Laser Induced…

University Lab Demonstrates 3-D Printing in Glass

A team of engineers and artists working at the University of Washington's Solheim Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory has developed a way to create glass objects…

The TWIST® method enables the highest process speed, flexibility and strength for the laser welding of plastics

At Stand 4211 in Hall 4 of Fakuma (October 13 – 17, 2009, Messe Friedrichshafen), the Fraunhofer ILT will be presenting a novel, compact and industry-ready…

The perfect cut

The same principle applies when cutting silicon blocks to make wafers for solar cells. You need a special slicing tool to produce paper-thin wafers from…
