Objective The ALAS project aims to shorten the gap between research and economy with latest research activities in the fields of optics and laser processing, by providing an innovative, adaptive laser cladding system with variable spot size to end users. Thus, Europe’s SMEs will be empowered to strengthen their global market position as the productivity will increase due to shortened setup times, flexibility gain and controlled quality.The main features of the ALAS system are:- Simple interfacing with the operatorAdapted to complex geometries, thanks to track width variationReal-Time laser power control to avoid heat accumulation in the part to be processedCompact design that minimize the safety laser requirements of the traditional laser cellsProvision to interface with the rest of elements of the laser cellThe working plan has been designed to attain the goal of the present project. To develop an adaptive tool for laser cladding, this project has been divided in 8 WP including the RTD task as well a dissemination and management WPs. The work will comprise:- The design of an adaptive optical path : to be able to vary the track width- The development of a laser cladding monitoring and control system: it will be based on a vision system that will check the real melt pool dimension and act on laser power- The development of the control interface of the ALAS system: which will be user friendly and easy to use.The coordinator will have the responsibility to carry on in good way this project.Regarding the impact of ALAS, it will yield:Higher processing flexibility and productivityAn increase of the market share for the end usersImproved repairing sector competitiveness.Improved the working conditions of operators.New opportunities for high-technology products, for which European industry has competitive advantages, like optical design, system solutions for laser cladding or other laser processes Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemssocial scienceseconomics and businesseconomicsproduction economicsproductivitynatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicsgeometrynatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Topic(s) SME-2012-1 - Research for SMEs Call for proposal FP7-SME-2012 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinator ASOCIACION DE INVESTIGACION METALURGICA DEL NOROESTE EU contribution € 38 020,00 Address CALLE RELVA TORNEIROS 27A 36410 Porrino Spain See on map Region Noroeste Galicia Pontevedra Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Gala Perez Perez (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (8) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all TIC - LENS LASERSKE TEHNOLOGIJE DOO Participation ended Slovenia EU contribution No data Address BEZIGRAJSKA CESTA 10 3000 CELJE See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Franc Lovec (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data FRAUNHOFER GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FORDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG EV Germany EU contribution No data Address HANSASTRASSE 27C 80686 Munchen See on map Region Bayern Oberbayern München, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Walter Krause (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data VLAAMSE INSTELLING VOOR TECHNOLOGISCH ONDERZOEK N.V.
