COMBILASER project reviewed at the 2nd review meeting
Posted on 15.3.2017
The COMBILASER project is entering its third and final year. Before the last and crucial stretch, the consortium faced and successfully passed the project’s 2nd review meeting. The project was once again carefully evaluated by the project officer Ms. Tanya Nikolova and two independent experts, dr. Pascal Aubry and dr. Evren Yasa.
The review was conducted at the COMBILASER partner Laser Zentrum Hannover’s premises. The in-depth review consisted of presentation of progress achieved in all relevant work packages. Partners presented the great effort that was put into designing and developing the main parts of the COMBILASER solution consisting of: a monitoring system, a non-destructive testing (NDT) system and the heart of the COMBILASER solution – the Self-learning system (SLS).
Important part of the project review was the presentation of the COMBILASER solution working real-time in the LZH labs on the Hidria industrial-use case. The solution was working without any problems and the consortium is ready to begin implementing the set-ups for all three industrial use-cases (Hidria, Orkli and TM Comas) at the respected partners’ premises. After the installation, a thorough validation process shall follow whereby the viability of the final solution shall be assessed.
Fifth COMBILASER consortium meeting in Sheffield
Posted on 06.12.2016
From 29th November till' 1st December, The University of Sheffield hosted the fifth meeting of the COMBILASER project consortium. The meeting was a great opportunity to assess the work completed thus far and prepare for the intensive third and final year ahead.
The two-day meeting consisted of discussing in-depth the current state of development activities within the project and first preparations for the forthcoming review meeting with the European Commission which is planned in first half of 2017.
The project partner also had an opportunity to acquaint themselves with R&D and teaching capabilities of the Sheffield University. The University staff presented to them the laboratories, research capacities and projects in fields related to mechatronics and especially robotics. Partner have also been given a tour of the brand new Diamond Building which houses the University's innovative multidisciplinary engineering education facilities which enable common learning to students of multiple engineering faculties implementing innovative teaching solutions (such as student-led learning).
COMBILASER presented at EARPA FORM Forum
Posted on 10.11.2016
SiEVA Development Centre presented the COMBILASER project on The Future of Road Mobility Forum – FORM, which took place on 19th October in Brussels.
The FORM Forum is a gathering of major European industrial, academia and governmental stakeholders, intended to share knowledge and ideas concerning the future of road mobility and is organized by EARPA – European Automotive Research Partners Association. The main topics of this year's forum were: 1. Future Transport Systems 2. Future Energy Systems 3. The Circular Economy and a special wildcard topic 4. Wildcard: Future role/responsibility of EARPA members.
The FORM Forum is foreseen as platform where all EARPA partners can exchange ideas and recent research results among the EARPA community as well as with external partners from the European automotive research arena. One element of the event was the presentation of recent results from projects where EARPA partners are involved. EARPA members and EARPA project partners were encouraged to present successfully completed projects or recent results from on-going projects in the context of EARPA’s vision on the Future of Road Mobility (national projects and European projects).
SiEVA used the opportunity to present two of its Horizon 2020 projects, among them also COMBILASER. At its stand SiEVA also presented the main products it developed within the 2011-2014 period, the first phase of SiEVA's operational establishment with help of PPP funding scheme. One of the presented products was also Hidria OPTYMUS Pressure-Sensor Glow Plug. This glow plug is also the basis of the Hidria AET use-case in COMBILASER whose first prototype solution deployment are expected in next year. The COMBILASER prototype solution comes in right time for COMBILASER project partner and coordinator Hidria, since the SOP of the glow-plug is expected to be launched somewhere at the end of 2017/beginning 2018. The COMBILASER consortium will thus have enough time to finalize the solution which will be embedded on the Hidria AET UC production line and is expected to greatly shorten the market uptake phase for the product, decrease scrap parts for the glow plug for 50% and implement a zero-defect solution, greatly increasing the quality of the developed product.
AIMEN: XII Workshop on Processing Materials with Laser Technology
Posted on 27.10.2016
COMBILASER Project was presented by Fidel Zubiri from IK4-Lortek during XII Workshop on Processing Materials with Laser Technology that took place in Vigo. In this presentation the progress about the cladding process was introduced as well as the project approach. Attendee’s number was around 100 coming from different sectors such as universities, research institutes and industrial companies with special interest in laser based manufacturing.
