Integrating Light – Your Partner LZH: The LZH at the Hannover Messe 2017

Melanie Gauch Marketing & Communications
Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

    Developing and integrating future-oriented, laser-based processes in cooperation with companies – that is what the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) stands for. From April 24th to 28th, the research institute is presenting efficient, individual, lightweight and smart solutions at the Hannover Messe 2017. The LZH will be exhibiting under the main topic “Integrating Light – Your Partner LZH” at the pavilion of State of Lower Saxony in hall 2, stand A08.

    Efficient working under water using the laser

    Working under water is both time-consuming and personnel-intensive, and especially difficult in the deep sea. The LZH is thus working on automated, laser-based systems for efficient use under water. At the fair, the institute is presenting a system for cutting sheet piling in port areas. Also, the LZH is showing how natural resources on the seabed can be detected in the future.

    Individual structures with additive manufacturing

    With various additive manufacturing processes the LZH can produce individual structures out of plastic or metal, from the macro to the nano scale. At the fair, the LZH is showing different components made using deposition welding, selective laser melting, stereolithography and nozzle-based processes, as well as two-photon-polymerization. Experts on-site will be advising which process is best for individual solutions.

    Lightweight components for automobile construction and shipbuilding

    Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and aluminum are being used more and more in the automotive and shipbuilding sectors. The LZH is developing new concepts for processing and repairing CFRP, as well as for joining aluminum and steel. At the fair, the LZH is presenting automated processes for three-dimensional CFRP workpieces. Also, steel-aluminum welding will be shown, which can be used in shipbuilding for joining superstructures to the hull.

    Process monitoring and control with smart components

    With smart components with integrated sensors, it is possible to monitor, control and optimize processing. This can be done by using lasers to directly “write” sensors on component surfaces. Thus, stress and vibrations can be measured accurately online. At the Hannover Messe, the LZH is presenting a strain sensor and a laser coded shaft.

    Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
    Verknüpfungen

    Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

    Klammern

    Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

    Wortgruppen

    Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

    Auswahlkriterien

    Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

    Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
