The April issue of Mikroniek, click here for a first impression, features the theme of Precision Bearing Technology. Contributions cover air, ferrofluid and crossed-roller bearings and a sensor bearing calibrator. Another article describes the application of electromagnetic levitation technology in high-precision machining. Event reports include the DSPE Precision-in-Business day at ASML, the Meten 2018 seminar on measurement technology and practice, and the Schunk Expert Days on Service Robotics 2018.

 

Forthcoming Mikroniek issues: precision mechatronics and precision talent
The forthcoming June issue will be devoted to precision mechatronics, featuring the full programme, including abstracts, of the DSPE Conference on Precision Mechatronics 2018 and various articles.
The September theme is ‘Precision talent’, in the broadest sense: education (vocational to academic level), digitalisation, competence and skills development, knowledge sharing, recruitment, etc.
Both issues of Mikroniek – the only English-language professional magazine in the Netherlands specifically targeted at precision engineers on all levels – are of particular interest to precision engineering and manufacturing companies. Their contributions, either editorial or commercial, or both, are highly appreciated. Please contact either Hans van Eerden or Gerrit Kulsdom, respectively.

 

Please send an e-mail for information on how to obtain a hardcopy of the April edition.
