Here & now

IPH | Biodiversity, green electricity, recycling: IPH has achieved a lot in terms of sustainability. Since fall 2019, the company has been participating in the ECOPROFIT program, has now successfully passed two commission audits and received the ECOPROFIT award.

LZH | A novel Spatial ALD system for coating optics was developed by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e. V. (LZH) together with the Finnish company Beneq OY. The system can also coat complex-shaped optics uniformly – and achieve high deposition rates.

ITA | Students experience the secret transmission of information using polarized light in the new augmented reality laboratory of the Optronics group at ITA. A pair of smart glasses superimposes information and instructions into the field of vision.

IKK | In the new laboratory for cryo-scanning electron microscopy at the IKK – Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy, samples can be imaged with high resolution. The equipment is especially designed for investigations of poorly conductive plastic-based samples.

match | The Institute of Assembly Technology (match) is hosting a workshop at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Philadelphia (USA) on May 27, 2022, as part of the DFG Priority Program 2100 “Soft Material Robotics”.

LZH | IPH | MDHZ | Digitalization and sustainability are the main topics of the Hannover Messe 2022, which will take place from May 30 to June 2 as a physical event. LZH, IPH, Niedersachsen ADDITIV and the MDHZ will be there.

IPH | IFA | Planning a factory is a major challenge, especially for companies with little experience. This article shows step by step how factory planning projects work. More in-depth knowledge will be provided by IPH and IFA on May 10 and 11, 2022, at the practical seminar “Factory Planning”.

IKK I To prevent plastics from becoming a dilemma, they must make the leap into the circular economy – the new DIN SPEC 91446 can enable this. It represents a pioneer technical standard for recycled plastics developed under the leadership of the IKK.

IKK | Nothing stands in the way of the development and modification of material and, in particular, recyclate formulations thanks to the new DCIM, Direct Compounding Injection Molding. The system from KraussMaffei Group GmbH went into operation in mid-December 2021 at the IKK – Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy.
