It was a pleasure to host the participants of the CERN Accelerator School - CAS for two days at our headquarters in Eindhoven. It was great to meet this diverse group of engineers and applied physicists, eager to learn about our contributions to CERN and explore our latest technologies, machines, systems, and components. After a warm welcome, we introduced the participants to our engineering capabilities, particularly the many ALICIA machines we made for CERN's ALICE Experiment. A tour through IBS highlighted some of our precision engineering and measurement systems, including our ARINNA (in-line interferometer) and our machine qualification systems. Additionally, we showcased our extensive air bearing portfolio and the numerous benefits they offer. The participants had the opportunity to ‘touch and feel’ our non-contact porous media air bearings in action, moving silently, without friction, and sustaining a heavy load capacity. We extend our thanks to Jan Visser (NIKHEF) for organizing the company visits and for the opportunity to be part of the course and we thank the participants for their interest and engagement!

On Monday May 6th, our Innovation Director dr. Theresa Burke will be hosting the next DSPE Lunch Lecture with the title: "Precision in roll-2-roll printed electronics". Theresa is also leader of the Roadmap ‘Test & Measurement’ linked to OE-A (Organic and Printed Electronics Association). In the production of flexible electronics, such as organic LEDs or photo-voltaic foils, nanometer scale features critical to the device performance are often implemented. In-line 3D metrology of such profiles would revolutionize the production process by avoiding time consuming off-line measurements for process control. Achieving such measurements in a roll-2-roll environment is a precision challenge. In-line interferometry has been developed for this purpose delivering nanoscale accuracy on a moving flexible foil. Interested to follow this online lecture (12:02-12:30 hours) via Teams? Send a.s.a.p. an email to DSPE! The lunch lectures are organised by the Dutch Society for Precision Engineering. The DSPE is an unique community of precision engineers stimulating professional contact and sharing knowledge & passion in precision engineering.

The new EDA500 eddy current controller is an ideal off-the-shelf solution for fast steering mirror and other differential sensing applications. The ultra precision sensor system is fully qualified for space applications and is designed for: • Fast Steering Mirrors (FSM) • Telescope and microscope stabilization • Image stabilization The differential system provides feedback from any change in the null position. Small changes in the tilt of the target are measured and sent to the actuator to allow fast and accurate control and positioning. Features - High bandwidth - High resolution - Low power consumption - Excellent temperature stability - Matched sensor for high stability and repeatability - Radiation tested to 75 krad TID Contact IBS Precision Engineering to learn more about the specs and the applications.
