SUMMARY:AILU Event: Low-Carbon Laser Manufacturing Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by: \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nFREE TO ATTEND \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nIntroduction\nChair: Lewis Jones\, Loughborough University \nLaser manufacturing in industry has a challenging future ahead as we see the need to implement strategies to reach net zero by 2050. \nAt present the transition to net zero manufacturing is optional\, but this is rapidly becoming essential. \nCompanies need to pursue innovations in manufacturing technology while developing their knowledge and capability to compete in net zero and low carbon manufacturing. This requires companies to innovate under low carbon manufacturing. \nJoin us to discuss sustainable manufacturing and the innovations we have been working on at Manchester and Loughborough in laser cleaning and welding and to understand how to model and reduce energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions while maximising productivity. Scope 2 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions for the energy used by organisations. Companies have to quantify\, aggregate and reduce Scope 1 and 2 (direct and indirect) emissions for net zero manufacturing. \nResearch undertaken by The University of Manchester together with Loughborough University and other partners will be presented in this sponsored webinar. \n  \nObjectives and workshop learning outcomes\n\nTo provide a methodology for analysing the energy consumption and carbon emissions for laser material processing.\nTo provide participants with key innovations in laser cleaning and welding and ideas for rapid processing with reduced energy consumption and emissions.\nTo road test and seek stakeholder input on the energy and emissions modelling framework.\n\n  \nProgramme\n14:00 – 14:10    Lewis Jones (Loughborough University)\nChair Introduction to session and online poll \n14:10 – 14:15    Lin Li (University of Manchester)\nWelcome from Professor of Laser Material Processing \n14:15 – 14:25   Paul Mativenga (University of Manchester)\nHow to make manufacturing sustainable in a net zero economy  \n14:25 – 14:35    Nick Goffin (Loughborough University)\nUnderstanding your laser system: ways to improve energy efficiency \n14:35 – 14:45    Jinglei Ouyang (University of Manchester)\nInnovations in laser cleaning and how to model and reduce energy and emissions  \n14:45 – 14:55     John Tyrer (Loughborough University)\nLaser safety in a net zero context \n14:55 – 15:05    Jinglei Ouyang/Paul Mativenga (University of Manchester)\nReusing cutting tools in a circular economy: lifecycle assessment and the role of laser cleaning \n15:05 – 15:15     Elliot Woolley (Loughborough University)\nDiscussion: Concluding poll and questions \n15:15 – 15:20     Lewis Jones (Loughborough University)\nClosing comments \n  \nFREE REGISTRATION \n \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nFunding and research for this event has been made possible by the EPSRC; grant number EP/S018190/1 “Research on the theory and key technology of laser processing and system optimisation for low carbon manufacturing (LASER-BEAMS)”. \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:Applications Webinar : OLED Technology for Lighting Manufacture
DESCRIPTION:SPONSORED BY\n \n  \n  \n  \nIn addition to the breakthrough use of Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology in displays\, there is promising potential for its use in lighting. Leading German and Japanese companies and researchers have joined forces in the LAOLA research project to develop the use of ultra-thin flexible glass as a substrate and encapsulation material in roll-to-roll technology for this purpose. \nThe webinar will introduce the basics of OLED for lighting\, discuss the choice for the right substrate and encapsulation material as well as the current status of roll-to-roll processing. Selected results from the LAOLA project will be presented. A special focus lies in the challenge to separate the lighting modules out from the roll by the use of a special laser cutting technology developed in the project. \nThis AILU webinar\, sponsored by 3D-Micromac AG\, will enable the audience to learn more about the application\, the technology behind it and the unique challenges overcome. \n  \nPresentations\nJacqueline Hauptmann\, Fraunhofer FEP\nUltrathin flexible glass as a promising substrate for OLED roll-to-roll processing \nHendrik Steinmetz\, 3D-Micromac AG\nLaser Separation of Ultra-Thin Glass for OLED Lighting and Display Applications \n  \nRegistration\nRegister for a free ticket below. \nBy registering for this webinar you agree that you are happy for AILU and event Sponsor to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:Lasers drive the Green Economy towards Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nChair:  Matthew Wasley\, Photonics Lead\, KTN \n  \nClimate change is one of the most serious and urgent global issues facing our world in the 21st century. During global lockdowns in 2020 and 2021\, the impact on pollution and emissions under drastically lower transport has driven a new emphasis and urgency into tackling this topic and governments are talking about “building back better”. Glasgow will be the host city for COP26 (the UN Climate Change Conference) in November 2021\, and the UK government recently announced it will set in law an ambitious climate change target\, reducing emissions by 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. This is intended to bring the UK more than three-quarters of the way to net zero (when the amount of CO2 produced is no greater than the amount removed) by 2050. \nTo meet these targets\, the UK will need to increase its low carbon electricity generation capacity by a factor of four. This in turn requires further development of efficient renewable energy sources such as solar and wind\, and the use of battery technology in place of fossil fuels. New research and innovation is addressing some of these challenges and funding and jobs will certainly follow in these industries over the next decades.

SUMMARY:Applications for Micro and Nano Material Processing with Lasers
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nChair: Jack Gabzdyl\, SPI Lasers \nIntroduction\nMuch progress has been made over the past decade in the commercial success of ultrashort pulse lasers (pico and femto) as well as shorter wavelength lasers (green and UV). Fibre laser technology has made these sources more reliable and more cost-effective. At the same time a number of micromachining\, surface engineering and cold micro cutting applications are being used in mass production. The global market for ultrashort laser systems significantly exceeds USD 1 Billion and the number of units installed annually is now between 3\,000 and 5\,000 units per year. \nModern ultrashort pulse lasers have high average power and very high repetition rates\, providing unique challenges for beam delivery – to deliver millions of pulses per second over a large area requires very fast and accurate scanning and beam imaging technologies. \nWhether in the area of additive or subtractive material processing\, systems and source prices are falling rapidly due to overcapacity of manufacture and efficiencies of scale. Simultaneously feature sizes continue to get smaller and are moving from micro to nano scale. \nThis webinar will bring you up to speed on the latest applications\, sources and beam delivery solutions for processing a wide range of materials from metals to ceramics\, polymers to glass. The webinar will be delivered using Zoom and delegates unable to attend live will be able to access a video of the sessions after the event. To facilitate concentration and delegate comfort\, the webinar is spread over 2 days. \n  \nProgramme\nDay 1 – 7 October 2020 13:30 PM – 16:30 PM (BST)  Sponsored by SPI Lasers \nSession 1 – 13:30 – 15:00 \nWelcome  Jack Gabzdyl  SPI Lasers \nUltra fast laser processing of high temperature superconductors  Bill O’Neill  Cambridge University \nMultibeam UV picosecond processing of PZT  Dimitris Karnakis  Oxford Lasers \nPrecision glass welding with hollow-core-fiber delivery of femtosecond laser pulses  Ulf Quentin   TRUMPF \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 2 15:00 – 16:30  Sponsored by Aerotech \nHigh throughput femtosecond laser processing  Eric Mottay  Amplitude Laser \nTHz devices: ultra-fast laser micro structuring as enabling technology for their manufacture  Pavel Penchev  University of Birmingham                  \nLaser Microprocessing Through 5-Axis Scan Head Coordination with Servo Stages  William Land  Aerotech \nQ&A \n  \nDay 2 – 8 October 2020 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM (BST)  \nSession 3 – 09:30 – 11:10  Sponsored by 3D Micromac \nDirect Laser Interference Patterning: new ideas and concepts for high-throughput processing  Andres-Fabian Lasagni   Fraunhofer IWS \nRoll-to-roll laser processing of flexible devices  Ronny Neubert 3D-Micromac \nHigh throughput scanning for ultrafast lasers Lars Penning  Next Scan Technology \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 4 – 11:10 – 12:20  Sponsored by Cailabs \nMulti-Plane Light Conversion-based beam shaping for laser microprocessing Pu Jian  Cailabs  \nLaser surface engineering for biological applications David Waugh  Coventry University \nHigh throughput\, high quality laser engraving  Stephen Dondieu  Heriot Watt University \n  \nVenue\nOnline \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member fees:\nComplete Webinar (all sessions 7th and 8th October)  60 GBP \nNon Member fees\nComplete Webinar ( all sessions 7th and 8th October)  90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:E-Mobility Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n \n  \nIntroduction\nWorkshop Chair:  \nPaola de Bono (TWI Ltd) \nThe world of transport is undergoing the biggest change since the early 20th Century\, focusing on a rapid move towards electric vehicle (EV) production and the parallel reduction in petrol-powered vehicles. Highly demanding new emissions targets have been set by Government policy\, aiming to meet net-zero emissions by 2050. \nAdvancements to e-mobility technologies have been made\, however\, before we can reach the point where electrification becomes the norm\, there are a number of challenges for industry to overcome. These include light-weighting of components\, process improvements\, welding developments\, real-time quality assurance in-production\, safety\, flexible tools and jigs\, and prototyping from components through complete vehicles. \nLaser technology has been adopted by the automotive sector\, principally for its ability to perform high-quality and high-precision processing at high speed\, and at low relative cost. In recent years several advancements have been made in laser technology which have the potential of making an important contribution\, and thus\, supporting the breakthrough of e-mobility. \nThis workshop will include presentations from equipment-providers\, end-users\, academic and industrial researchers in the e-mobility field. You will hear and see how the latest developments in laser technology as well as academic and industrial research are supporting the e-mobility agenda. A forum will be created in this e-mobility workshop\, encouraging new thinking and industrially viable practical solutions. \n  \nProgramme\nWednesday 8 July \nSession 1 – 13.30 – 14:55 (Sponsored by Air Products)  \n13:30 Introduction – Paola De Bono\, TWI UK \n13:40 Battery welding applications in e-mobility – Alexander Olowinsky\, Fraunhofer ILT Germany  \n14:00 Laser welding at TWI supporting the e-mobility agenda – Chris Allen\, TWI UK \n14:20 Laser technology for the automotive industry – Yannick Galais\, Luxinar  \n14:40 Discussion \n14:55 – 15:15 Break \n  \nSession 2 – 15:15 – 16:35 (Sponsored by Nuburu)  \n15:15 Welcome \n15:20 Blue laser welding in e-mobility – Richard Gleeson\, Nuburu UK  \n15:40 Laser joining of dissimilar metals – Jack Gabzdyl\, SPI Lasers\, UK \n16:00 AI-Aided automation for Electrification– Giovanni Di Stefano\, Comau\, Italy \n16:20 Discussion \n16:35 Close \n  \nThursday 9 July Session 3 – 9.30 – 11.00 (Sponsored by Coherent)  \n9.30 Welcome \n9:35 – New applications for blue diode lasers in the power range 500 to 2 kW – Andre Eltze\, Laserline Germany \n9:55 – 5G enabling Industry 4.0 – Chris White\, Ford & Chris Allen\, Vodafone \n10:25 – Advances in copper and multi material welding using fibre lasers – Thomas Hofmeister\, Coherent  \n10:45 Discussion \n11.00 – 11.20 Break \n  \nThursday 9 July Session 4 – 11.20 – 12.40 (Sponsored by Precitec)  \n11.20 Welcome \n11.25 Ensuring weld traceability during e-mobility applications – Markus Kogel-Hollacher\, Precitec  \n11.45 Solving challenges in e-mobility with fibre lasers – Mark Thompson\, IPG Photonics  \n12.05 How joining process innovations can solve challenges for future electric vehicle body architectures – Sullivan Smith\, TWI UK  \n12.25 Discussion \n12.40 Close \n  \nVenue\nOnline \nRegistration\nAILU Member fees:\nComplete Webinar (all sessions 8th and 9th July)  60 GBP\nSessions 1 & 2 (8th July)  40 GBP\nSessions 3 & 4 (9th July)  40 GBP \nNon Member fees\nComplete Webinar (all sessions 8th and 9th July)  90 GBP\nSessions 1 & 2 (8th July)  60 GBP\nSessions 3 & 4 (9th July)  60 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n \n  \nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event \n
