Gas Bearing workshop March 27 2023

Since many years the Gas Bearing Workshop has been establishing a forum for the gas bearing community. Scientists, research engineers, users and manufacturers/vendors in this field are invited. Experts in gas bearings are going to present new applications and leading edge R&D. There will be the opportunity for discussion and for personal contacts.
The following speakers will be happy to provide you with expert knowledge
  • Joep Nijssen, ASML, The Netherlands
  • Prof. Dr. Robert Liebich, Technische Universtität Berlin, Germany
  • Prof. Federico Colombo, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
  • Dr. Duc Ha, Omega Dot Ltd., United Kingdom
  • Prof. Jürg Schiffmann, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
  • Drew Devitt, New Way Airbearings, USA/ The Netherlands

Mikroniek February issue: High-Tech Systems

The February issue of Mikroniek, click here for a first impression, is devoted to the theme of High-Tech Systems. It starts with the condensed version of a whitepaper about ROS2 motion controllers for mobile robot navigation. Other theme articles feature the application of Machine Learning in a mechatronic context, and an update on developments in additive manufacturing, as presented, among others, at the Formnext late last year. Also in this issue, an obituary of Piet Schellekens, the Eindhoven emeritus professor of Precision Engineering who died last month. Please send an e-mail for information on how to obtain a hardcopy.

New chairman YPN

I’m Marc Gritter, a 27 year old mechanical engineer at IBS Precision Engineering. I was born in Alkmaar, but slowly moved further and further to the south of the Netherlands. Robotics and complex machinery have always fascinated me, so I moved to Delft and studied mechanical engineering. There I got introduced to precision engineering where the technology is pushed to the limits. From that point on, I knew that there was no escape for me and that I had to be part of this sector. I moved to Tilburg and started working at IBSPE. Read more
ROS2 motion controllers for mobile robot navigation.
There is an increasing need for deploying Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in the care sector, the public domain (hospitality and surveillance) and the industry (inspection, maintenance, logistics and agriculture).

A mechatronic Machine Learning case
To date, Machine Learning (ML) has found only relatively limited implementation in high-end mechatronic systems. To test its capabilities in a real industrial application, the challenging case of friction estimation was investigated.
