Already comprehensive, this range of applications will grow exponentially in years to come.

With headline speakers including Myrddin Jones, Lead Technologist with the Technology Strategy Board and Jeremy Burroughes, Chairman of the Plastic Electronics leadership Group as well as many presentations from the leading organisations in the vanguard of Plastic Electronics innovation, this first ever event dedicated to the new technology will not only educate and inspire technology and engineering innovators but will also set the benchmark for presenting and accessing the sector.

Plastic (or Printed/Organic) Electronics makes it possible to deposit semiconducting organic polymeric materials onto a surface using additive or printed techniques. The UK is now on the brink of mass commercialisation of its rich knowledge base into a functional value chain serving the interests of UK design and manufacturing enterprises. The Plastic Electronics industry is predicted to be worth $335 billion by2029 so teams of the brightest minds across the world are racing to unlock its vast potential and the UK is leading the way on global innovations.

Nick Kirkwood, Operations Manager, Photonics & Plastic Electronics Knowledge Centre, part of Electronics Sensors & Photonics (ESP) KTN comments:

“A new era of electronics is dawning; plastics and other materials are being used to create electronic circuits that previously would have been impossible to make. The list of possible applications and uses is endless from household to industry, with the potential to revolutionize the way products and devices are made, that will be flexible, thinner and lighter. ESP KTN exists to exchange knowledge, connect companies and organisations putting people together that may not normally meet or connect. The UK Plastic Electronics Show 2011 offers the perfect ‘new’ forum to do just that.

“Through the 2-day ‘free to attend’ plastic electronics technology and business presentations, co-hosted by ESP KTN, you can hear from experts about what ‘Plastic Electronics’ can do right now, what it hopes to achieve in the future and who the main players are including the Printed Electronics Centres of Excellence.

“Without doubt, Plastic electronics will become ubiquitous in everyday products and manufacturing processes, however, the window of opportunity to exploit plastic electronics in the UK is narrowing and it needs brand holders and end-users to engage to help pull the technology forward.”

The technology is powering into the future, the support structures are in place, the list of applications grows daily; it only remains for everybody with an interest in innovative design, development and manufacturing to immerse themselves in a two day fast-track opportunity to meet and understand plastic electronics game changers at the UK Plastic Electronics Show 2011.

A one year advanced engineering programme initiated by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) is now set to be a highlighted theme setter for industry briefings at the Composites Engineering Show 2011.

The UK is a world leader in many benchmark setting engineering disciplines of the future, not least of which is composites engineering. A great deal of that leadership derives from a national technology strategy that is not just supportive of work underway today but, as importantly, is prepared to invest in programmes to strengthen UK capabilities and to explore wider fields of application for those capabilities: in short, to establish leadership positions in the advanced engineering disciplines of tomorrow. One great example of this in recent times has been the £10 million i-Composites programme of collaborative research and development co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and 22 programme partners from a variety of market sectors, supply chain positions and scales.

During the year to 31st March 2011, partners in the i-Composites programme pursued research and development programmes across six main, and sometimes overlapping, activity streams in automation, energy reduction, materials, process time reduction, sustainability, and simulation. The overall intention with the i-Composites programme was to accelerate capability maturity across the Technology Readiness Level 3-6 band, from basic research to the point of demonstration using the collaborative nature of the programme to deliver rapid technology capability advances; compressing into 12 months, work that might have otherwise taken years. And although all of the technology developments covered within the programme are rooted firmly in enhancements to current industrial processes, they are still just one step removed from being totally accessible to the composites value chain and hence are providing a very useful starting set of projects for the National Composites Centre (NCC) as they represent the current hot topics in composites within the UK

Programme partners included GKN Aerospace, leading the project; Bombardier Aerospace with Loop Automation and Kuka; Aircelle; Sigmatex; ACG; EPL Composite Solutions; Frazer Nash; and a dozen more. All have contributed to this powerful expression of UK engineering future-ready excellence, culminating in a presentation to the Composites Grand Challenge in Action event on 20th July 2011 at the newly opened National Composites Centre.

The Technology Strategy Board is now interested in using this Grand Challenge model in other areas of UK industry to stimulate the same sort of coordinated momentum that is evident within the composites sector.

Now, the i-Composites programme technical projects will be taking front stage at The Composites Engineering Show, November 9-10 at the NEC, Birmingham as the themes for individual presentations within the Composites UK Sponsored Industry Briefings.

Mecmesin, a British company specialising in force and torque testing equipment, will demonstrate two new testing systems which can help ensure consistency in manufacture and improve productivity at the Composites Show next month.

Mecmesin’s new Vortex-xt and MultiTest-xt really can reduce material costs and help achieve lean manufacturing goals. They can be seen on Stand 949 at the Composites Engineering Show in November. The versatile new Vortex-xt cuts recall costs by improving production line efficiency and reducing wastage. It has been designed for quality control managers who need a simple, accurate, yet rugged, torque testing system for the production floor or QC laboratory.

With the Vortex-xt, static and rotary torque tests are performed at the push of a button and its stand-alone system means that no PC is required, making it ideal for production areas. It’s easy to programme and simple-to-use, so there’s minimal operator training. It is the perfect solution for engineers in the aerospace, automotive and medical device industries who need to measure clockwise and counter-clockwise torque when developing and manufacturing rotary components. Typical applications include positive “click “ on engagement of aerospace, automotive and medical device controls such as ignition switches, valves and automotive stalks.

Rated to 10N.m, the Vortex-xt completes Mecmesin’s range of 3 motorised torque testing systems, which includes the basic Vortex-d and the top-of-the-range Vortex-i computer-controlled test system.  The new MultiTest-xt makes force testing simple. It enables tension and compression tests to be carried out quickly and easily at the touch of a button on samples straight from the production line.

Designed for those in busy production environments who want an easy-to-use test system, without the need for a PC or complex software, the MultiTest-xt is a stand-alone system encapsulating all the elements needed to perform quality control assessments in a robust self-contained unit. The sealed touch-screen houses a simple user-interface, suitable for any level of operator, from engineers and line managers to quality control specialists. Programming functions, test data and evaluation tools are all accessed via a straightforward menu, enabling quick selection and commencement of tests. For example, in ‘quick test’ mode, a test can be chosen and started with a couple of taps to the screen.

The MultiTest-xt is available in 7 capacities from low force measurement ranges including 1000N, 2500N and 5000N, up to high capacity twin-column test systems, which include 10,000N, 25,000N and 50,000N.

Mecmesin’s product range is versatile and its universal test machines combined with dedicated grips and fixtures can be used to solve a variety of specific test applications including; adhesion/peel, coefficient of friction, compression, flexure, tension and torsion.

Mecmesin is a friendly, family-run British company with more than 30 years experience who can offer on-site installation, training and application support services. It currently employs more than 60 people at its factory near Horsham in West Sussex.

Thousands of companies worldwide use Mecmesin measurement systems to maintain consistency of manufacture to comply with relevant standards and to save money by minimising rejects in the production process.
