Research
The future of production technology
- Research
match | Soft robots for marine research: match and GEOMAR in Kiel are launching a new project to develop a system that will be used in combination with a diving robot to simplify the collection of rock and sediment samples in the deep sea.
- Research
LZH | Dental implants with an innovative lattice structure: The scientists at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. are working on this as part of a DFG research group. The goal: The additively manufactured implants made of titanium should be particularly durable and functional.
- Research
IMPT | Miniaturized ion getter pumps for use in compact and transportable quantum measurement technology are currently being developed by scientists at the Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) of Leibniz University Hannover in cooperation with LPKF.
- Research
IFUM | Alternative lubricant concepts play a special role in times of raw material scarcity. Water-based lubricants offer many advantages in terms of disposal, operation and savings. Their application limits are being investigated at the Institute of Forming Technology and Machines (IFUM).
- Research
IW | A new class of materials based on refractory metals shines with application temperatures at which conventionally used high-temperature materials fail. The so-called niobium-MASC alloys are being researched at the Institut für Werkstoffkunde (IW, Materials Science) of Leibniz University Hannover.
- Research
IFA | Scientists at the IFA want to support small and medium-sized enterprises in meeting planned delivery deadlines – with the shortest possible delivery times and low unit costs. To this end, they are researching a methodology for operationalizing the load flexibility of production systems.
- Research
ITA | HITec | Research under space conditions: For the first time, the experiment carrier in the Einstein-Elevator in Hannover enables experiments under weightlessness or microgravity with a large payload and a high repetition rate.
- Research
IFW | When grinding long cantilever tools, displacement of the workpiece occurs. This reduces the manufacturing quality. IFW is developing a sensory grinding spindle to compensate displacement during tool grinding and reduce scrap.
- Research
IKK | Standardization is an integral part of the circular economy, enabling a universal assessment of materials, processes and products. At the same time, the important role of standards in transferring research findings into practice is often underestimated. For this reason, IKK – Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy actively participates in standardization committees for the plastics recycling sector.
