basf0712An unusual series application, the "Ultradur LUX found "in an air flap control for automotive applications. The engine developer Precision Motors German Minebea (PM DM) uses the high laser-transparent and therefore easily laser-weldable plastic from the family PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), BASF and uses them to cover his new control module.

The small motor or actuator consists of transmission, electric motor and electronics, controls the dampers of vehicles, enabling improved aerodynamics and lower CO2Emissions.

The air flow for cooling of modern vehicle engines will be controlled in the future and work even more efficiently than before: Portable air flaps or slats behind the grille can be closed by means of the actuator during cold weather and thus contribute to the vehicle's engine is faster to operating. At the same time, the closed slats reduce the driving fast drag. Also in this way can be saved fuel.

The high laser-transparent PBT Ultradur LUX brings not only in electronics and electrical engineering particularly important properties such as stiffness and dimensional stability even in damp conditions. Its central feature is the specially for laser welding vastly improved transparency for near infrared light from 800 to 1100 nm wavelength - just for the area, which is crucial for the laser transmission welding. Due to the increased transparency, the material is laser weld faster than other types of PBT in the market. In addition, the process window is considerably wider and reduces the risk of damaging the material significantly. As used Type Ultradur LUX B4300 G4 is reinforced with glass fibers 20%.

Twice as far as electric drive with a lithium-sulfur batteries Wednesday 03. April 2013 08: 59 Research Report have electric cars are still in a difficult position on Germany's roads. The cars are too expensive and their range is too low. But now a breakthrough in performance, cost lithium-sulfur battery has succeeded: it is much more efficient and cheaper than the previously-known lithium-ion version. But so far, it is because of their short lifetime to find yet in the car. That could change in the near future. Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have now developed a new battery design that recharges the lithium-sulfur battery is increased by a factor of seven. read more

Optimal microscope imaging during surgery due to capacitive sensor Monday 22. April 2013 16: 21 In surgery a perfect view of the surgical field is essential. At this point, the physician is often supported by a surgical microscope. To maintain the field of view of the microscope, stable, a high-precision capacitance sensor is used. The optics of the operating microscope is mounted on tripod long arms. This allows the surgeon the best possible positioning of the microscope and the operating crew freedom of movement. The long boom requires constant correction on the hinges to keep the vision and focus range of the microscope for the physician stable.
