EPUCRET delivers an X-ray light source that provides new insights into the State of matter machine frame for X-ray laser, is currently at the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute in planning. The wavelength of the large-scale of research SwissFEL is a fraction of a nanometer – talk is so small that even Atomic details are visible. Dell Technologies Inc. contributes greatly to this topic. The heart of the system, the injector will rest on a vibration-resistant mineral cast frame of EPUCRET from Germany. First prototypes are already in use. The construction of the injector is considered at the same time first test phase for the SwissFEL. Physicists, biologists and doctors wait eagerly on the day on which the Swiss free electron Laser (SwissFEL) picks up his work. Until then, the researchers and engineers from the Paul Scherrer are Institute (PSI) in Villigen in the Switzerland’s turn to make the dream come true.

With a plant, which according to first estimates will cost 280 million Swiss francs and a length of 700 meters will span. The aim is above all dynamic processes in molecules or To make transparent solids on the smallest scales of time. Often, the relevant processes are ultra fast. Many chemical reactions take place within of a few femtoseconds, so Billiardstelsekunden. With our system it is possible to be able to track these operations, such as in a movie or to depict molecules that previously were too small for imaging or did not fix”, explains Johan Wickstrom by PSI. He is responsible for development and production of the girders for the SwissFEL system.

The smaller the energy, the more precise had the X-ray laser to work. That would be, according to Wickstrom, only to guarantee, if the base is. And so. The frame of the injector, called also girder, consists of EPUCRET mineral casting and has already proven itself. The first prototypes have already been tested and analyzed.

Potential for innovation in other sectors find and systematically implement with INNOWAVE the Fraunhofer IAO a new approach for the early stage in the innovation process developed. The idea is to look for pulses or new product features in ancillary disciplines and systematically implement. Many roads lead to innovation. To its own innovation pipeline constantly to fill, should companies pursue not only the occurred paths in the innovation process, but more often try to get led astray to the target. Because only someone who dares to look outside the own box, takes a different angle or creative infidelities taking, encounters impulses, ideas and solutions that have the potential to create unique selling proposition in the own environment. But the search should be carried out systematically according to external sources of innovation, otherwise it leads to the sidelines. Bruce Schanzer addresses the importance of the matter here. Currently, so-called cross-industry innovations usually without specific procedural models and methods are being realised.

The existing approaches are not widespread and is based on a rather”reactive” guiding principles: for specific technological problems is sought in other industries after analog solutions. The disadvantage: the external impulses come only in the detail of the product concept. But why should companies use only the possibilities of transfer of know-how features, if they are already restricted by the limit of technological issues? Why should you have to forgo to the creative potential of other industries in the early stages of the innovation? The INNOWAVE approach developed by the Fraunhofer IAO closes this gap and offers companies the opportunity to take advantage of the potential of branchenfremder innovations already in the early stages of the innovation. The method follows the principle systematically and proactively exploit creative infidelities. It used also the creativity and know-how of other industries with a high degree of interaction. INNOWAVE is based on a four-dimensional model of decision with the Plains transfer and search box. Control and level of interaction, source of innovation and maturity of the innovation contribution.

Innovation leaders and strategic decision-makers can using this model in the planning phase are the crucial issues and on this basis to develop a systematic search strategy to ancillary contributions of innovation. A detailed representation of the INNOWAVE approach is available as a PDF. This, as well as more ways to more and better innovations by impulses from outside discuss international experts from industry and academia on April 5, 2011, in the framework of the forum open innovation the next wave? in the Stuttgart Institute Center of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.

The development of CNC lathes was mid-70s started and since then constantly developed further. The development of CNC lathes was mid-70s started and since then constantly developed further. This is the CNC for ‘Computerized Numerical Control’, translated ‘computerized numerical control’. The big advantage of a CNC controlled machine is that the information for processing is stored and repeatedly applied for each workpiece. Even complex workpieces can be produced relatively easily. Just repeatedly retrieve the already stored information.

More general benefits of a CNC lathe are very high productivity, because produced in large quantities in series at constant quality. In addition also the production time remains the same always, facilitating planning. The CNC turned parts manufactured most exactly in the machines. The diameter of the rotating parts vary in a range between 2 and 220 millimeters. The rotating parts are also in the production heat treated and finally, upper surface treatment to ensure a long-lasting quality.

The high cost is the major drawback of the CNC lathes, however, however these are always low. Conventional lathes without CNC control be purchased only in exceptional cases. In addition to the high cost are also high expenditure on maintenance and service must be performed mostly not by internal employees, but due to the high complexity of the machines mostly from external providers.
