Manufacturing Error-free Goods at First Time (MEGAFIT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Today, Europe’s leading position in manufacturing of high-precision metal parts is being threatened by developed non-EU countries that catch up quickly on product quality at low cost. If no further action is taken, loss of jobs and GDP are at risk.To face global competition, a breakthrough is needed in tackling the following 4 challenges:1) High number of defects2) Many costly, energy consuming fi ...

Fibre-delivered Laser Cutting Optimisation (FILCO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"Fibre-delivered 1µm wavelength laser sources (i.e Yb-fibre and Yb:YAG disc) have the potential to revolutionise commercial laser cutting, which is currently dominated by CO2 lasers. Currently, 95% of lasers used in cutting applications are CO2 lasers, of which ~40% are used in Europe. The potential benefits of replacing CO2 lasers with new, 1µm wavelength fibre or disc lasers are significant, in ...

Closed Loop Control of the Laser Welding Process through the Measurement of Plasma (CLET)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

"Laser welding is a widely used technique in automotive, aeronautical and shipbuilding industries. New developments are being investigated and it is expected that in the near future it will replace traditional welding techniques in many applications. During laser welding a free electron plasma is generated. The radiation emitted by that plasma and the plasma itself can be characterised by means of ...

High Quality Tube and Pipe Production by Hybrid Welding (HQ-TUBES)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2010,

"Hybrid laser-arc welding offers many advantages compared with conventional arc or laser welding. The process does, however require a high level of control if high quality welds are to be produced. This proposal tackles the issues of weld quality and productivity improvement for manufacturing pipes through development of advanced sensors for the hybrid laser-arc welding process. Hybrid process dev ...
