Delegate Registration

4th June – 8th June 2018, Venice Terminal Passeggeri, Venice, IT

euspen’s 2018 extensive tutorial programme will cover a range of key topics for the precision engineer

Whilst covering a clear technical curriculum, tutorials are less formal than a lecture; providing more personalised learning in a social atmosphere.
They incorporate existing challenges in the workplace which cover conceptual theories through to best practice applications.
These tutorials will take place on Monday 4th June 2018.

T1 Fundamentals of precision design
T2 Basics of surface topography measurement and characterisation
T3 Optical Measurement Technology
T4 Dynamics & Control of Mechatronic Systems
T5 Intro Design in Ultra High Vacuum
T6 Flexure design in mechatronics

Tutorial 1: Fundamentals of Precision Design

Location : Room Sala Goldoni at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, Rio Terà Foscarini, 909/A, 30123 Dorsoduro, Venice, IT
Monday 4th June 2018
Time: 10:00 – 13:00

The tutor is Professor Alex Slocum, MIT, USA

This lecture provides a fast paced hands-on introduction to rapid precision machine design based on FUNdaMENTAL principles, including theory and best practices.

Topics include: design philosophy, principles of accuracy, repeatability and resolution, error budgeting, bearings, structures, and actuators.

Examples will be presented to show why understand FUNdaMENTAL principles is critically important for a designer to understand in order to be able to most effectively use modern design tools such as solid modeling and finite element analysis in the design of precision machines.

Attendees are encouraged to bring pencils and paper to learn by solving real problems as part of the lecture.

This tutorial is aimed at applied practitioners of precision machine design who want a different perspective based on the philosophy of the mathematics and physics of precision. Real-world hands on “tricks” and the philosophy and math behind them to optimize.

Tutorial 2: Basics of surface topography measurement and characterisation

Withdrawn
Monday 4th June 2018

The tutor is Professor Richard Leach, Manufacturing Metrology Team, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, UK

Designed for engineers and scientists with some prior expertise in metrology. The tutorial is designed to allow engineers to begin taking surface measurements, understand the subject in more depth and have a good feel for what characterisation methods are available. Only ISO characterisation methods will be covered. The tutorial will cover the following topics and will use examples from both conventional and additive manufacturing. Some advanced topics in feature analysis will also be covered but in limited depth.

  • What is a surface?
  • Why is surface measurement needed?
  • Terminology
  • Standards infrastructure
  • Stylus instruments
  • Optical instruments
  • Potential problems with instruments
  • Traceability, calibration and uncertainty
  • Difference between profile and areal characterisation
  • Profile characterisation
  • Areal characterisation, field and feature parameters

Tutorial 3: Optical Measurement Technology

Location : Room Sala Don Orione at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, Rio Terà Foscarini, 909/A, 30123 Dorsoduro, Venezia, IT
Monday 4th June 2018
Time: 10:00 – 17:00

The tutor is Prof. Wolfgang Osten, University of Stuttgart, DE

It starts with selected basics in geometrical and wave optics. Furthermore, relevant information about the processing of image-like data is given.

Because the scope of optical measurement principles is widely diversified, the content is focused on those techniques which are relevant for the solution of measurement tasks in surface feature measurement (shape, waviness, roughness, and isolated defects), experimental stress analysis, nondestructive testing and high resolution reconstruction of non-resolved features in nanometrology.

Principles for the solution of inverse/reconstruction/identification problems in optical metrology are presented. The tutorial ends with a discussion of current challenges for optical inspection principles and tries to give advice for their completion.

Tutorial 4: Dynamics & Control of Mechatronic Systems

Location : Room Sala Palladio at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, Rio Terà Foscarini, 909/A, 30123 Dorsoduro, Venezia, IT
Monday 4th June 2018
Time: 10:00 – 17:00

Dynamics & Control of Mechatronic Systems

Over a period of more than 40 years Dutch companies as Philips Electronics, ASML, FEI, OCE and many others have developed a successful approach to the Design and Development of Mechatronic solutions for High Precision Motion. Starting with consumer products as Optical Disc Drives and leading to advanced solutions for nanometer positioning in combination with accelerations of more than 10g’s used in the Lithography tools, a continuous attention to development of new industrial technology delivered successful results.

This tutorial will focus on an integrated approach of machine dynamics & control and the tutors will present lessons learned in industrial practice but also developments in advanced control and machine design that are promising for further technological improvements and which should help to ‘push the limits …. but also push back’.

Included in the Tutorial Fee is a copy of the book “The Design of High Performance Mechatronics” by R. Munnig Schmidt, G. Schitter, A. Rankers and J. van Eijk.

Tutorial 5: Introduction Design in Ultra High Vacuum

Location : Room Sala San Marco at Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, Rio Terà Foscarini, 909/A, 30123 Dorsoduro, Venezia, IT
Monday 4th June 2018
Time: 10:00 – 13:00

Design for and construction in a specific vacuum? The ideal vacuum would be an empty vacuum.

Design for and construction in a specific vacuum? The ideal vacuum would be an empty vacuum. Unfortunately an empty vacuum does not exist. Moreover, any introduction of additional functionality introduces a source of gasses and contamination. Designers in the “normal atmospheric world” may use their acquired instinct and experience, but may fail under ultra-clean vacuum conditions. The main reason being that basic rules of vacuum completely differ from those at atmospheric or higher pressures.

After the tutorial the trainees have been acquainted with the basics of vacuum technique. Subsequently they will learn how to make a robust design, applicable for vacuum conditions.

The trainees will acquire a basic knowledge how to create, measure and maintain vacuum. Vacuum has properties unknown in our daily surroundings i.e. there is no standard reference with daily life for people not involved in vacuum technique. To develop the required level of perception and understanding basic theoretical knowledge about vacuum systems will be combined with exercises during the course.

Intended for
The course “introduction Design in Ultra High Vacuum” is meant for employees of BSc and higher level responsible for constructions in ultra-clean vacuum in any way. These employees could be in Research and Development, Engineering, Purchase, Management etc.

Program
The tutorial focusses on the basics of vacuum fundamentals and guidelines for the design of vacuum compatible applications and vacuum systems. Outline of the program is as follows:

  • Introduction, basic principles and properties of gases at low pressures
  • Flow of gases, flow regimes
  • System design for vacuum applications; budgeting of vacuum requirements
  • Material properties and selection
  • Vacuum forces and disturbances
  • Vacuum seals
  • Joining techniques
  • Heat transfer in vacuum
  • Electronics in vacuum
  • Bearings in vacuum
  • Application of lubricants in vacuum
  • Actuators in vacuum
