PROFACTOR is exhibiting at the Inprint  2019 – INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF PRINT TECHNOLOGY FOR INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING –  robot-based inkjet printing and digital pad printing  together with ITW Morlock vertreten (A6, Booth 248).

Daniel Fechtig will give you  insights into our solutions in two talks during the conference.
 
Direct digital printing on freeform surfaces – technological advances and applications

Robot-based inkjet printing as well as the digital PAD printing technology enables digital, maskless decoration and functionalization of 3D-shaped products and a flexible mass manufacturing. The technological focus of robot-based inkjet printing is on the further development of a specifically developed software for communication between the industrial print head and the moving robot arm as well as material tests like fixing drops with a pinning unit on curved surfaces. Digital PAD printing enables to  print on small and complex shaped, highly curved objects in high quality. The technology combines digital inkjet printing and analog PAD printing in a single industrial process.

Speakers:

Daniel Fechtig – Profactor GmbH and  Jürgen Bosch – ITW Morlock GmbH

 

 
Multimaterial 3D Printing – a game changing manufacturing technology
Multi-material/multi-layer inkjet printing offers the possibility to integrate additional functionality in the form of digitally printed electronics on flat, curved surfaces or directly into products/components. Applications include antennas, sensors, electrical cables and contacts on curved glass, optics, shoes, textiles, cars, aircraft, consumer products, baby products, medical devices, packaging and many more.

PROFACTOR focuses on the development of digital manufacturing processes (inkjet printing, inkjet-based 3D printing) for the fabrication of free-form optics and printed electronics within 3D parts or on curved surfaces and the fabrication of high-resolution electrical structures together with customers/partners from industry and research. The presentation provides an overview of market opportunities, processes, solutions, concrete applications and examples, current technical and commercial challenges and how we solve them together with partners.

PROFACTOR ist auf der Control 2019 – Internationale Fachmesse für Qualitätssicherung – mit dem Thema Zero Defect Manufacturing vertreten (Halle 6, Stand 6519). Die Messe findet von 07. bis 10. Mai in Stuttgart statt.

Optische Qualitätskontrolle reicht weit über iO/niO-Entscheidungen hinaus. PROFACTOR entwickelt Prüfsysteme, die auf maschinellem Lernen beruhen. Die Systeme lernen vom Menschen und bilden seine Entscheidungsmodelle ab. Diese Intelligenz ermöglicht einen flexiblen Einsatz für neue Varianten und Aufgaben.

PROFACTOR präsentiert auf der Control automatische Inspektionssysteme für metallische Oberflächen als auch Faserverbundwerkstoffe und ein visuelles Inspektionssystem von Tankventilregler bei Brennstoffzellen, entwickelt im EU-geförderten Projekt Inline.

Sie finden uns  in Halle 6, Stand 6519. Ihr kostenloses Ticket erhalten Sie hier.

Wir freuen uns, Sie in Stuttgart begrüßen zu dürfen!
Ihr PROFACTOR-Team
