How do you make sure that a product can handle the wear and tear of an expected life cycle and that all safety and quality standards are met? You test it. Over and over again.Nothing is more repetitive than product testing – lending itself to one of the “3D jobs” that robots excel at: dirty, dangerous…and dull.Increasingly, collaborative robots – or cobots - are now being used for product testing.

Graz-based start-up USound, in partnership with several Fraunhofer Institutes (IDMT, ISIT, IIS and IZM) and utilising PCB technology together with system integration expertise from AT&S, has developed what is not only the world’s smallest speaker, but also the first based on MEMS. The product is protected with numerous patents. MEMS are silicon chips or substrates with very small feature sizes, that have mechanical and electrical functi...

In partnership with several Fraunhofer Institutes (IDMT, ISIT, IIS and IZM), USound has utilisedPCB technology with system integration expertise from AT&S to develop what it claims to be the world’s smallest speaker and also the first based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).

A new range of modular heavy-duty connectors has been introduced byBosch Rexroth, bringing even greater flexibility to the use of machine frames made from aluminium strut profiles.Complementing Bosch Rexroth’s extensive existing line-up, the 180x180 dynamic load connectors have undergone extensive testing by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the safe absorption of both high static and dynamic loads.

For the first time, it has been possible to produce functional OLED electrodes from graphene. The process was developed by Fraunhofer researchers together with partners from industry and research. The OLEDs can, for example, be integrated into touch displays, and the miracle material graphene promises many other applications for the future.

Between 31stJanuary and 2ndFebruary 2017, an international 3D Printing event focused on medical 3D Printing and 3D Printing materials, including a two-day expo, will take place in two different locations in the Netherlands: MECC Maastricht and Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Sittard-Geleen.

Gathering at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, internationally renowned specialists will be discussing the latest developments, challenges and prospects of 3D printing electronics, on 24th January 2017.

The LOPEC exhibition will be taking place in Munich, Germany from 28th-30thMarch 2017, providing information on the latest products, technologies and trends in printed electronics. This year, the automotive industry will be one of the focal points of the international exhibition and conference.

Thanks to the remote tuner solution from Maxim Integrated Products, designers can simplify the head unit design of a vehicle and reduce cables. The MAX2175 RF to Bits tuner eliminates the need to rework the vehicle’s hardware to support worldwide radio standards, allowing updates by simply changing the vehicle’s software.

Cyber-physical systems, a wearable robotic cameraman outfitted with artificial intelligence and the smallest, lightest hydroelectric power plant in the world are just a few examples of the concepts that visitors discovered in the Research and Technology sector at HANNOVER MESSE 2016.
