Mikroniek November 2022: New design principles

The November issue of Mikroniek features the theme of New Design Principles.

It kicks off with a presentation of the Dutch initiative – a joint venture of academia, DSPE and industry – to produce an update of the design principles for precision mechatronics. Various articles feature applications of new design principles, such as passive damping and the use of large-stroke, fully flexure-based manipulators, such as the T-Flex featured in the cover story.

News! Design Principles for Precision Mechatronics (DPPM)

An initiative to produce updated design principles for precision mechatronics has been developed by Dutch universities of technology in association with DSPE, in close collaboration with the Dutch high-tech industry. Building on the legacy of Wim van der Hoek, the Dutch doyen of design principles, the aim of the initiative is to collect over 100 cases that demonstrate the proper application of contemporary design principles. The cases will be presented on a dedicated website and collected in a new textbook, preceded by an extensive, in-depth introduction of the design principles.

The DPPM website will be launched at the DSPE stand (stand 111 hall 2) during the Precision Fair

Rien Koster award 2022

Biannual the works of an expert, active for many years in precision engineering is awarded by the prof M.P. Koster award.
It is an all works price (oeuvre) with clear results, internally and externally seen and the winner pass on enthusiasm to colleagues, has design competence, is creativity, works on image of profession, made publications, is a person who likes to collaborate and shares his knowledge.

Wim van der Hoek award 2022

The youngest generation of mechanical designers is still inspired by the design principles of Wim van der Hoek. The nominations for the Wim van der Hoek Award 2022 bear witness to this.
The former Philips engineer and professor by special appointment at Eindhoven University of Technology passed away a few years ago at the age of 94, but his ideas are still taught and his name lives on in the prize named after him. The jury for this prize has received a total of five nominations from three universities of technology and two universities of applied sciences for students who applied existing or new design principles in their graduation work in an appealing way.

The nominees didn't make it easy for the jury this year. But there is a winner! Do you want to know who the winner is? Come to hall 2 (at the Precision Fair) on November 17 at 4pm and see who will receive this special award.
