A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The choice of a light alloy for the production of mechanical components implies, also, the choice of the most suitable heat treatment. Even if heat treatment parameters are defined in the international standards, microstructure, induced in the alloys...
Engineering components, in relative motion under load, dissipate energy due to friction and and suffer surface damage due to wear. In order to limit these phenomena, a new discipline called “tribology” has been developed. The importance of a...
In the field of automatic machines and Robots with high dynamics the need for velocities higher and higher collides with the requirements of precision and reliability. This is mainly caused by the motion control systems that are not able to track...
The design of control systems can be based on commercial off-the-shelf devices, easily scalable and interoperable. The rapid growth of the functionalities, which characterize modern control systems, complicates the selection of the proper...
