SUMMARY:AILU Workshop: High Power Laser Welding
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n  \n \n  \n\nIntroduction\nChair: Wojciech Suder (Cranfield University) \nWith high power fibre lasers now well-established as the laser of choice for welding metals\, the thickness of laser welds in all metals is increasing. Keyhole welding\, with or without the assistance of arc welding (to make hybrid welds) is possible in material greater than 50 mm thick. On the other hand\, the high power lasers are capable of welding smaller thicknesses at very high speeds\, opening up new applications involving high quality and high throughput reflective metals like copper and aluminium. \nThis workshop is aimed at sharing the latest results from researchers and manufacturers in the field of laser welding in the multi-kW regime. As price per watt continues to fall and wall-plug efficiency improves\, the inherent viability of laser welding and the ease with which it can be automated makes it more and more the process of choice. \nA range of speakers will present and exhibitors offering products to this market will be on hand to share information about their capabilities.  The MTC is located conveniently for the M6 motorway\, between Coventry and Rugby and delegates will be able to tour the facilities at the end of the workshop. \n  \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:00  Registration \n10:00  – 10:10   Welcome & Introduction\nWojciech Suder\, Cranfield University  \n10:10 – 10:30  Insight into the latest material joining development at the MTC\nKevin Withers\, MTC \n10:30 – 10:50   Overview of Laser Welding – When to use it and when not\nGoncalo Pardal\, Cranfield University \n10:50 – 11:10   Utilising laser beam shaping technology to improve weld quality in high volume manufacturing for E mobility\nPasquale Franciosa\, Warwick University   \n11:10 – 11:40   Break \n11:40 – 12:00  Dynamic Beam Lasers opening new parameters for laser welding\nMeir Giladi\, Civan Lasers\, Israel  \n12:00 – 12:20   High Power Laser Welding of Copper with and without Ultrasound\nPhil Carr\, Carrs Welding \n12:20 – 12:40  Using laser welding to manufacture industrial machine drive belts\nPeter Brown\, Laser Additive Solutions \n12:40 – 13:50   Lunch \n13:50 – 14:10  Laser Welding for Fusion Machines\nTristan Tremethick\, UKAEA \n14:10 – 14:30  A comparison of the electron beam welding and laser in vacuum welding process for low-medium penetration applications\nMax Nentwich\, Cambridge Vacuum Engineering \n14:30 – 14:50  Industrial laser cladding with metal cored wires\nJihane Guenoun\, Welding Alloys\,  \n14:50 – 15:20   Break \n15:20 – 15:40 Beam Shaping Enhancements for Laser Welding\nCallum Wreford\, PowerPhotonic \n15:40 – 16:00   International Training & Qualification for high Power Laser Welding\nEurico Assuncao\, EWF\, Portugal \nTour of MTC \n  \nVenue\nManufacturingTechnology Centre (MTC)\nAnsty Park\nCoventry\nCV7 9JU \nGetting to the MTC \n\nLocation/parking\nMTC Location/parking \n  \nMain image courtesy Cranfield University

SUMMARY:Laser Surface Texturing
DESCRIPTION:Event Sponsors\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nIntroduction\n \nChair: David Waugh (Coventry University) \nLaser surface texturing is being applied to more and more applications\, as the technology to treat surfaces improves and treatment rates increase the process is becoming more cost-effective.  In this workshop\, we will have presentations from industry on the laser and optical tools that are used to apply textures\, as well as from research organisations with experience of applying the latest know-how to speed up the process and apply it to new materials and applications. \nThe use of laser surfaces can be for modifying the wettability (making surfaces attract or repel water droplets) or the tribology (modifying the performance of a surface regarding friction or wear) or the optical reflectivity of surfaces (changing colour or contrast). These surfaces can be used in applications as diverse as biomedical\, surgical implants\, aircraft surfaces\, engine and gear train components\, white goods and currency or luxury goods. \nAs well as providing a forum to exchange ideas\, this physical workshop (at Cranfield University) will be backed up by a range of industrial exhibitors and networking opportunities over lunch and coffee breaks. \nSome of the speakers and delegates for this event will join via Zoom to take advantage of the hybrid nature of the workshop\, which makes it easy for international attendance and positions it at the centre of this topic with a range of international speakers from Europe and further afield. \n  \n  \nProgramme\n09.30 – 10.00   Registration and Refreshments \n10.00 – 10.10   Welcome & Introduction\nDavid Waugh\, Coventry University (UK) \n10.10 – 10.30  The Frictional Performance of Laser Textured Sintered  Carbide Cutting Tools\nPaul Butler-Smith\, Manufacturing Technology Centre (UK) \n10.30 – 10.50  Innovative applied surface structures in the electronic assembly industry\nFraser Shaw\, Watt Laser (UK) \n10.50 – 11.20  Harnessing the power of diffractive optics to enable high throughput laser surface texturing\nNatan Kaplan\, HoloOr (Israel) \n11.20 – 11.50  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking  \n11.50 – 12.10  Laser-enabled Surface Engineering: Technology Advances in Addressing Industry Applications and Process Requirements\nStefan Dimov\, Birmingham University (UK) \n12.10 – 12.30  A roadmap for mass production of USP-laser textured surfaces\nGirolamo Mincuzzi\, ALPhANOV (France) \n12.30 – 12.50  Multi-beam processing with the next generation of high intensity laser systems\nDanijela Rostohar\, HiLASE (Czech) \n12.50 – 14.00  Lunch & Networking with Delegates & Exhibitors \n14.00 – 14.20  Laser surface engineering: from diamond to polymer\nManuela Pacella\, Loughborough University (UK) \n14.20 – 14.40  Exceeding the state of the art in Direct Laser Interference Patterning\nSabri Alamri\, Fusion Bionic (Germany) \n14.40 – 15.00  Laser engineering and functionalization of biomimetic surfaces\nEmmanuel Stratakis\, Biomimetic (Greece) \n15.00 – 15.30  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking \n15.30 – 15.50  Fibre-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer manufacturing using UV femtosecond laser pulses\nKamile Kasaciunaite\, Light Conversion (Lithuania) \n15.50 – 16.10  Beam Shaping Options for Improving Throughput in Laser Surface Texturing\nSteve Kidd\, PowerPhotonic (UK) \n16.10  Close \n\n  \nLocation\nPlease click image below to open pdf (N.B .this is a 2-page document) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVenue\nCranfield Management Development Centre\, Bedfordshire\, MK43 0HG \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNearby accommodation \nThe Swan Revived Hotel\n33 High Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 8AR \n+44 (0) 1908 610565\ninfo@swanrevived.co.uk\nhttps://www.swanrevived.co.uk/ \n  \nHarben House Hotel\nTickford Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 9EY \n+44 (0) 1908 215600\nsales@harbenhouse.co.uk\nhttps://www.harbenhouse.co.uk/ \n  \n\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

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. Lasers have a big role to play in this arena\, from laser processing of materials for photovoltaics\, to manufacture of specialist batteries\, wind turbine elements\, new nuclear power generation and more. \nThis webinar will highlight the challenges faced and explore the variety of applications of lasers in renewable energy\, green transportation and the role the industry has to play in meeting net zero. \n  \nSponsored by\n \n  \n  \n  \nProgramme\n13:30 – 16:30 BST \n13:30 – 13:40  Matthew Wasley (Photonics Lead\, KTN) – Introduction and Welcome \n13:40 – 14:00  Michael Walls (Loughborough University) – Technology and Market Trends in Solar Photovoltaics \n14:00 – 14:20  Grigorios Rigas (M-Solv) – Interconnecting Perovskite PVs in one Step \n14:20 – 14:40  Melanie Loveridge (Warwick University) – Laser Applications for Li-ion Batteries & prospects for Large-scale Manufacturing \n14:40 – 15:00  Patrick Herwig (Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology\, IWS) – Latest Developments on Laser Material Processing for Battery Production \n15:00 – 15:10 BREAK \n15:10 – 15:30  Wilhelm Pfleging (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)) – Ultrafast laser materials processing as a versatile manufacturing tool for developing next generation batteries \n15:30 – 15:50  Clive Grafton-Reed (Rolls Royce) – The Demands for Greener Aviation \n15:50 – 16:10  PJ Scott (IPG Genesis Systems) – Automated Laser Welding Systems for Safe and Reliable EV Battery Manufacturing \n16:10 – 16:30  Phil Carr (Carrs Welding) – How Laser Welding of Li-ion Cells has Changed over the Last Decade: Cells\, Joints & Interlinks \n\nVenue\nOnline webinar \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member rate:  60 GBP \nNon Member rate: 90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nTICKET INFORMATION BELOW\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
