In addition to already well established trades fair including Motek, Control and Blechexpo, private trade fair promoter Paul Schall is now bringing a further event to the trade fair venue in Stuttgart. The 4th Microsys trade fair for micro and nano-technology will take place concurrent to the Motek international trade fair for assembly and handling technology at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from September 13 to 16, 2010.
Micro-technology makes ordinary things smaller, handier and more multifunctional. As a result, electronic controllers in cars now fit onto tiny chips and sensors. Driving is made more comfortable and safer. Driver assistance systems are experiencing a strong upsurge: The intelligent car compensates for things the driver doesn’t notice – it reacts more quickly at the decisive moment, “sees” better than the human eye at night and in the fog, and even scans the road. Combination radio / CD players, which were as large as a chest of drawers 10 years ago, are shrinking down to extremely small, compact systems thanks to micro-technology.
Nano-technology products can also be found in our daily surroundings, and offer practical advantages: glasses which no longer become fogged, sinks which require less frequent cleaning, cars which are washed clean by the rain, and textiles to which spots no longer adhere. All of this is made possible by extremely small particles in nano-coatings. Our television pictures become sharper and flat screens are flat because their control processes operate in miniature format.
A very targeted show International exhibitors will demonstrate how micro and nano-technology products are manufactured and used at Microsys. “We currently see excellent opportunities for the development of micro and nano-technology for use in a broad range of industrial applications”, says trade fair promoter Paul Schall in his announcement. Whereas some of the competitors are concentrating to a greater extent on research, electronics or medical engineering, Schall is emphasizing the field of applied production technology as a thematic orientation for the event.
Small and efficient Micro-technology deals with processes which are used for the production of bodies and geometric structures with dimensions in the micron range. To put this into perspective, a human hair has a diameter of 70 microns. The largest field of application for micro-technology is the production of integrated circuits, which were essential in making modern computer technology possible at all. In the case of structural dimensions of less than 100 nanometres we speak of nano-technology. One nanometre is roughly 70,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
