SUMMARY:Laser Surface Texturing
DESCRIPTION:Event Sponsors\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nIntroduction\n \nChair: David Waugh (Coventry University) \nLaser surface texturing is being applied to more and more applications\, as the technology to treat surfaces improves and treatment rates increase the process is becoming more cost-effective.  In this workshop\, we will have presentations from industry on the laser and optical tools that are used to apply textures\, as well as from research organisations with experience of applying the latest know-how to speed up the process and apply it to new materials and applications. \nThe use of laser surfaces can be for modifying the wettability (making surfaces attract or repel water droplets) or the tribology (modifying the performance of a surface regarding friction or wear) or the optical reflectivity of surfaces (changing colour or contrast). These surfaces can be used in applications as diverse as biomedical\, surgical implants\, aircraft surfaces\, engine and gear train components\, white goods and currency or luxury goods. \nAs well as providing a forum to exchange ideas\, this physical workshop (at Cranfield University) will be backed up by a range of industrial exhibitors and networking opportunities over lunch and coffee breaks. \nSome of the speakers and delegates for this event will join via Zoom to take advantage of the hybrid nature of the workshop\, which makes it easy for international attendance and positions it at the centre of this topic with a range of international speakers from Europe and further afield. \n  \n  \nProgramme\n09.30 – 10.00   Registration and Refreshments \n10.00 – 10.10   Welcome & Introduction\nDavid Waugh\, Coventry University (UK) \n10.10 – 10.30  The Frictional Performance of Laser Textured Sintered  Carbide Cutting Tools\nPaul Butler-Smith\, Manufacturing Technology Centre (UK) \n10.30 – 10.50  Innovative applied surface structures in the electronic assembly industry\nFraser Shaw\, Watt Laser (UK) \n10.50 – 11.20  Harnessing the power of diffractive optics to enable high throughput laser surface texturing\nNatan Kaplan\, HoloOr (Israel) \n11.20 – 11.50  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking  \n11.50 – 12.10  Laser-enabled Surface Engineering: Technology Advances in Addressing Industry Applications and Process Requirements\nStefan Dimov\, Birmingham University (UK) \n12.10 – 12.30  A roadmap for mass production of USP-laser textured surfaces\nGirolamo Mincuzzi\, ALPhANOV (France) \n12.30 – 12.50  Multi-beam processing with the next generation of high intensity laser systems\nDanijela Rostohar\, HiLASE (Czech) \n12.50 – 14.00  Lunch & Networking with Delegates & Exhibitors \n14.00 – 14.20  Laser surface engineering: from diamond to polymer\nManuela Pacella\, Loughborough University (UK) \n14.20 – 14.40  Exceeding the state of the art in Direct Laser Interference Patterning\nSabri Alamri\, Fusion Bionic (Germany) \n14.40 – 15.00  Laser engineering and functionalization of biomimetic surfaces\nEmmanuel Stratakis\, Biomimetic (Greece) \n15.00 – 15.30  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking \n15.30 – 15.50  Fibre-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer manufacturing using UV femtosecond laser pulses\nKamile Kasaciunaite\, Light Conversion (Lithuania) \n15.50 – 16.10  Beam Shaping Options for Improving Throughput in Laser Surface Texturing\nSteve Kidd\, PowerPhotonic (UK) \n16.10  Close \n\n  \nLocation\nPlease click image below to open pdf (N.B .this is a 2-page document) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVenue\nCranfield Management Development Centre\, Bedfordshire\, MK43 0HG \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNearby accommodation \nThe Swan Revived Hotel\n33 High Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 8AR \n+44 (0) 1908 610565\ninfo@swanrevived.co.uk\nhttps://www.swanrevived.co.uk/ \n  \nHarben House Hotel\nTickford Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 9EY \n+44 (0) 1908 215600\nsales@harbenhouse.co.uk\nhttps://www.harbenhouse.co.uk/ \n  \n\n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________ \nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event \n

SUMMARY:Digital Technology in Laser Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n \n\n  \n  \nChair: Cliff Jolliffe\, Physik Instrumente (PI) \n  \nDigital Manufacturing promises a higher degree of automation and repeatable quality\, continually striving for improvements and to eliminate defects. Much talked-about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) promise to transform the world of manufacturing and help to fill the skills gap which has opened up in the past decade. As well as techniques to improve throughput\, consistency and quality\, the rise of advanced modelling allows processes to be proven virtually before committing to the application of hardware. Smart factories and the Internet of Things are applications of Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution)\, and a post-pandemic world will no doubt wish to invest in increased automation and building resilience to guard against future vulnerabilities in the supply chain and resources required to manufacture tomorrow’s products. \nThis workshop is suited to anyone seeking to build knowledge or add to their network\, by meeting and hearing experts in the field of Digital Manufacturing with lasers. The event is scheduled to be a live event\, with hybrid access options for remote presentations. \n  \nPresenters \n10:00 – 10:10  Cliff Jolliffe (PI – UK )\nWelcome & Introduction \n10:10 – 10:30  Markus Brieger (TRUMPF) \nMonitoring solutions and data-based services for laser-based manufacturing \n10:30 – 10:50  Jens Reiser (Precitec) \nLaser welding solutions based on Industry 4.0 \n10:50 – 11:20  Krste Pangovski (Vision Intelligence) \nUnlocking the DNA of Assembly Processes Using AI: a Step Towards Zero-defect Manufacturing \n11:20 – 11:50  Break \n11:50 – 12:10  Chris Wright (Oxford Lasers)\nTaking a data-centric approach to micro-machining \n12:10 – 12:30  Ben Mills (University of Southampton)\nModelling and Optimising Femtosecond Laser Machining using Deep Learning \n12:30 – 12:50  Branislav Timotijevic (Optotune\, Switzerland)\nInline monitoring of laser processes using tunable liquid lenses \n12:50 – 14:00  Lunch \n14:00 – 14:30  Steve Kidd (PowerPhotonic) \nAn all-digital process flow from optics design to optics manufacture \n14:30 – 14:50 William Land (Aerotech)\nFundamentals of Achieving High-Throughput in Laser Machines \n14:50 – 15:10  Hang Geng (Brunel University)\nDefect Assessment and Cost Modelling in Laser Manufacturing \n15:10 – 15:40  Break \n15:40 – 16:00  Wojciech Suder  (Cranfield University)\nChallenges in implementation of digital control to laser manufacturing \n16:00 – 16:20  Nikta Jalayer (PI – USA) \nPrecision Motion and Laser Manufacturing \n  \nRegistration\nPurchase tickets below. \nBy registering for this webinar you agree that you are happy for AILU and Event Sponsor to contact you after the event

DESCRIPTION:SPONSORED BY\n \n  \n  \n  \nIn addition to the breakthrough use of Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology in displays\, there is promising potential for its use in lighting. Leading German and Japanese companies and researchers have joined forces in the LAOLA research project to develop the use of ultra-thin flexible glass as a substrate and encapsulation material in roll-to-roll technology for this purpose. \nThe webinar will introduce the basics of OLED for lighting\, discuss the choice for the right substrate and encapsulation material as well as the current status of roll-to-roll processing. Selected results from the LAOLA project will be presented. A special focus lies in the challenge to separate the lighting modules out from the roll by the use of a special laser cutting technology developed in the project. \nThis AILU webinar\, sponsored by 3D-Micromac AG\, will enable the audience to learn more about the application\, the technology behind it and the unique challenges overcome. \n  \nPresentations\nJacqueline Hauptmann\, Fraunhofer FEP\nUltrathin flexible glass as a promising substrate for OLED roll-to-roll processing \nHendrik Steinmetz\, 3D-Micromac AG\nLaser Separation of Ultra-Thin Glass for OLED Lighting and Display Applications \n  \nRegistration\nRegister for a free ticket below. \nBy registering for this webinar you agree that you are happy for AILU and event Sponsor to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:Lasers drive the Green Economy towards Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nChair:  Matthew Wasley\, Photonics Lead\, KTN \n  \nClimate change is one of the most serious and urgent global issues facing our world in the 21st century. During global lockdowns in 2020 and 2021\, the impact on pollution and emissions under drastically lower transport has driven a new emphasis and urgency into tackling this topic and governments are talking about “building back better”. Glasgow will be the host city for COP26 (the UN Climate Change Conference) in November 2021\, and the UK government recently announced it will set in law an ambitious climate change target\, reducing emissions by 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. This is intended to bring the UK more than three-quarters of the way to net zero (when the amount of CO2 produced is no greater than the amount removed) by 2050. \nTo meet these targets\, the UK will need to increase its low carbon electricity generation capacity by a factor of four. This in turn requires further development of efficient renewable energy sources such as solar and wind\, and the use of battery technology in place of fossil fuels. New research and innovation is addressing some of these challenges and funding and jobs will certainly follow in these industries over the next decades. Lasers have a big role to play in this arena\, from laser processing of materials for photovoltaics\, to manufacture of specialist batteries\, wind turbine elements\, new nuclear power generation and more. \nThis webinar will highlight the challenges faced and explore the variety of applications of lasers in renewable energy\, green transportation and the role the industry has to play in meeting net zero. \n  \nSponsored by\n \n  \n  \n  \nProgramme\n13:30 – 16:30 BST \n13:30 – 13:40  Matthew Wasley (Photonics Lead\, KTN) – Introduction and Welcome \n13:40 – 14:00  Michael Walls (Loughborough University) – Technology and Market Trends in Solar Photovoltaics \n14:00 – 14:20  Grigorios Rigas (M-Solv) – Interconnecting Perovskite PVs in one Step \n14:20 – 14:40  Melanie Loveridge (Warwick University) – Laser Applications for Li-ion Batteries & prospects for Large-scale Manufacturing \n14:40 – 15:00  Patrick Herwig (Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology\, IWS) – Latest Developments on Laser Material Processing for Battery Production \n15:00 – 15:10 BREAK \n15:10 – 15:30  Wilhelm Pfleging (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)) – Ultrafast laser materials processing as a versatile manufacturing tool for developing next generation batteries \n15:30 – 15:50  Clive Grafton-Reed (Rolls Royce) – The Demands for Greener Aviation \n15:50 – 16:10  PJ Scott (IPG Genesis Systems) – Automated Laser Welding Systems for Safe and Reliable EV Battery Manufacturing \n16:10 – 16:30  Phil Carr (Carrs Welding) – How Laser Welding of Li-ion Cells has Changed over the Last Decade: Cells\, Joints & Interlinks \n\nVenue\nOnline webinar \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member rate:  60 GBP \nNon Member rate: 90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nTICKET INFORMATION BELOW\nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:Applications for Micro and Nano Material Processing with Lasers
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nChair: Jack Gabzdyl\, SPI Lasers \nIntroduction\nMuch progress has been made over the past decade in the commercial success of ultrashort pulse lasers (pico and femto) as well as shorter wavelength lasers (green and UV). Fibre laser technology has made these sources more reliable and more cost-effective. At the same time a number of micromachining\, surface engineering and cold micro cutting applications are being used in mass production. The global market for ultrashort laser systems significantly exceeds USD 1 Billion and the number of units installed annually is now between 3\,000 and 5\,000 units per year. \nModern ultrashort pulse lasers have high average power and very high repetition rates\, providing unique challenges for beam delivery – to deliver millions of pulses per second over a large area requires very fast and accurate scanning and beam imaging technologies. \nWhether in the area of additive or subtractive material processing\, systems and source prices are falling rapidly due to overcapacity of manufacture and efficiencies of scale. Simultaneously feature sizes continue to get smaller and are moving from micro to nano scale. \nThis webinar will bring you up to speed on the latest applications\, sources and beam delivery solutions for processing a wide range of materials from metals to ceramics\, polymers to glass. The webinar will be delivered using Zoom and delegates unable to attend live will be able to access a video of the sessions after the event. To facilitate concentration and delegate comfort\, the webinar is spread over 2 days. \n  \nProgramme\nDay 1 – 7 October 2020 13:30 PM – 16:30 PM (BST)  Sponsored by SPI Lasers \nSession 1 – 13:30 – 15:00 \nWelcome  Jack Gabzdyl  SPI Lasers \nUltra fast laser processing of high temperature superconductors  Bill O’Neill  Cambridge University \nMultibeam UV picosecond processing of PZT  Dimitris Karnakis  Oxford Lasers \nPrecision glass welding with hollow-core-fiber delivery of femtosecond laser pulses  Ulf Quentin   TRUMPF \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 2 15:00 – 16:30  Sponsored by Aerotech \nHigh throughput femtosecond laser processing  Eric Mottay  Amplitude Laser \nTHz devices: ultra-fast laser micro structuring as enabling technology for their manufacture  Pavel Penchev  University of Birmingham                  \nLaser Microprocessing Through 5-Axis Scan Head Coordination with Servo Stages  William Land  Aerotech \nQ&A \n  \nDay 2 – 8 October 2020 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM (BST)  \nSession 3 – 09:30 – 11:10  Sponsored by 3D Micromac \nDirect Laser Interference Patterning: new ideas and concepts for high-throughput processing  Andres-Fabian Lasagni   Fraunhofer IWS \nRoll-to-roll laser processing of flexible devices  Ronny Neubert 3D-Micromac \nHigh throughput scanning for ultrafast lasers Lars Penning  Next Scan Technology \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 4 – 11:10 – 12:20  Sponsored by Cailabs \nMulti-Plane Light Conversion-based beam shaping for laser microprocessing Pu Jian  Cailabs  \nLaser surface engineering for biological applications David Waugh  Coventry University \nHigh throughput\, high quality laser engraving  Stephen Dondieu  Heriot Watt University \n  \nVenue\nOnline \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member fees:\nComplete Webinar (all sessions 7th and 8th October)  60 GBP \nNon Member fees\nComplete Webinar ( all sessions 7th and 8th October)  90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event
