The Fraunhofer FEP has developed a scalable process within the EU project New Skin to equip ultra-thin glass with a hydrophobic titanium dioxide coating using roll-to-roll technology. This coating becomes superhydrophilic under UV light and prevents the buildup of dirt, for example on glass facades…

In hardly any industry are the requirements for the properties and quality of surfaces as high as in medical and pharmaceutical technology. Accordingly, increasingly higher demands are placed on deburring and surface treatment. It is exactly for these quality-critical manufacturing steps that Deburr…

High purity – a term that is increasingly used in component cleaning. Since there is no universally valid definition of which prerequisites and requirements have to be fulfilled, the specifications differ from industry to industry. Basically, the objective is to achieve a very high level of componen…

In German hospitals, several million tons of waste are generated annually from used protective masks, test kits, syringes, gloves, or surgical gowns. The majority of these single-use items are thermally processed, meaning they are incinerated. A team of researchers at Fraunhofer IWU does not want to…

The compact blower of the Simco-Ion Micro Series has been specially developed for demanding applications in critical environments where space is limited. The new Microblower 5941 meets current requirements for modern and automated production processes. With a height of only 110 mm and a width of 80…

The GEMÜ R480, R481, R487 and R488 butterfly valves now have an NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification and a DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) certification. Both approvals certify that the products from the Ingelfingen-based valve specialist GEMÜ are suitable for use in dr…

An essential step in manufacturing processes, parts cleaning significantly contributes to product quality and adds considerable value. In the past years, the related tasks have become much more varied and challenging. At parts2clean (hall 10, booth C38), Ecoclean will be showcasing a product portfol…

– New hub will provide state-of-the-art metrology systems to accelerate semiconductor research and enhance development projects with chipmakers and ecosystem partners across Europe, particularly in ICAPS* market segments
– Collaboration to accelerate learning, develop novel methods and prove new met…

The ESD cleanroom shoes with gaiters are the ideal solution to prevent contamination at the transition from coveralls to shoes. Thanks to their ESD properties, the shoes prevent electrostatic charging and protect sensitive components from damage caused by static electricity. At the same time, they e…
