Un consorcio de investigación alemán busca socios para Eurostars para el desarrollo de una nueva generación de máquinas para el tratamiento láser de superficies de caucho

The consortium search for partners to form a Eurostars consortium. Partners with a background in spectrometry OR evacuation of gaseous and solid process emissions in production machines are sought. The consortium is developing a new generation of machine for laser surface processing of rubber.
The rubber surface is contaminated by residues of form release agents. During laser processing contaminated particles are removed from the surface and pose a risk to optical surfaces in the machine.

The project target is to identify release agents on the rubber surface and optimise process emission evacuation to protect the optical surfaces. The consortium is looking for partners that are

1. developing sensor technology like spectrometry that can be used to identify transparent relaese agents on rubber surfaces during a highly dynamic laser surface treatment process, OR
2. offering expertise in the area of process emission evacuation in order to optimise air streams in the laser process machine to reduce the risk of fumes and contaminated particles to redeposit on optical surfaces within teh machine.

Deadline of the call is 31 December 2025.
