New era of web tension PROFILE monitoring in coating lines Measurement of tension in web materials is well known since decades. The development focus was on precision of the loadcells and amplifiers with higher resolution, shorter cycle times and communication interfaces. State of the art is one loadcell on each side of an idler roller. Evaluation in the electronic unit can be sum / average of both signals or also independent evaluation of left/right signals. This allows an accurate measurement of the (overall) tension in a web. But it does not give any information about the lateral distribution of tension across the web. Although very often a web material does not have the same properties across the web (humidity in the material, thickness = gauge etc). With production processes requiring tighter and tighter tolerances this information is no longer sufficient. Especially with wider webs one needs to ensure that the material properties are the same all over the web width. This can be measured by a multitude of loadcells across the web. With such a measurement (monitoring) device it is possible to do a real-time analysis of the tension profile / distribution across the web. You can also detect loose edges, one-side tension concentration, repeating patterns over time / length. This measurement is the base for improving previous (upstream) processes and in addition it allows the qualification of different rolls according to their consistency of tension across the web. The operator can influence the process based on the measurements (web guiding, banana rollers etc) and also document the results through standard interfaces. This new system, the FMS-segFORCE introduces a new era of web tension profile monitoring.

Flexo graphic printing for technology markets and converting Flexibility and challenging solutions are required for coating lines. Printing processes are often integrated in converting lines to give added value to the machine. Logo print in silicone release liner coating lines is a standard solution and even pattern silicone application is realized within fast running coating lines. And flexo printing processes are used in challenging applications too such as design application for battery electrodes and even printed electronics applications. KROENERT will give with the presentation an overview about flexo graphic printing technology and application samples for high-speed converting machines but also for high-end solutions like printed electronics.

HyFab PEM fuel cell MEA production research at ISE Today’s PEM fuel cell catalyst production research addresses the challenges of upscaling and optimizing the fabrication process, which includes increasing throughput rates while maintaining quality demands. Within the project HyFab we are addressing these challenges and establish production related competences in the field of hydrogen technologies together with the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW). At Fraunhofer ISE, we are investigating the whole production line coming from the catalyst ink, applying flatbed screen printing and the transfer process to manufacture membrane electrode assemblies. Different ex-situ quality control measurements are shown to evaluate correlations of coated catalyst layer and catalyst ink properties. Finally, the fabricated fuel cells are characterized electrochemically during operation.

Drying Technologies Industrial drying processes are generally driven empirically and finding the right drying conditions can be resource and time consuming. A general reduction in cost can be accomplished by understanding the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer to model the drying process and find a suiting starting point for empirical trials. Furthermore, general benchmarking of different drying methods (optical, convective, …) can be estimated through process modelling. This talk will cover the fundamentals and the application of high-performance convection drying and the advantages and disadvantages of optical drying methods in comparison. In addition, typical drying defects and their origin will be discussed as well as the advantages of typical solvents in ink formulation regarding the drying process.

Abstract
Dr. Klaus Peter Crone | Intermittent slot die coating of low viscous liquids
Slot dies originally have been invented for uniform, endless, full area coatings. Their dedicated advantages to be a premetered closed system are more and more requested as well for intermittent coatings, e.g. in the battery industry. The main problem of intermittent slot die coating, namely the successive fast start and stop of the coating process, has meanwhile been solved quite satisfyingly for rather high viscous slurries. For low viscous liquids there are still problems to achieve well defined coating edges. A new method is presented, still being in development, to overcome such issues.

In recent years, several markets (e.g. coating) are adopting integrated digital technologies to print functional layer which is pushing Inkjet technology to achieve high speed (> 100 meter/min) with drop placement accuracies (+/- 10 micrometers). This induces challenges (amongst others) with respect to vibrations of mechanical modules (print bar), high flow rate in the ink delivery system and power supplies requirements for fast print head activation. In this presentation, we elaborate the challenges along with the its effects and propose a solution space from a system integration perspective to achieve high speed printing with desired accuracy. |

The development of sustainable packaging materials with lower environmental impact is an urgent need of our society. Although significant improvements have been made, it is still challenging to achieve a trade-off between eco-friendliness and both, low production costs and sufficient packaging performance. One promising material that might succeed in creating this balance is nanocellulose - a nature-derived and renewable nanomaterial that shows excellent mechanical and barrier properties. However, using nanocellulose it is quite challenging to obtain homogeneous defect free layers. The unexceptionally high viscosity and thixotropic behaviour of nanocellulose based solutions makes it difficult to deposit this material with standard coating methods. Furthermore, another crucial aspect is the high solvent content of the typical nanocellulose solution (between 99 and 95%), causing very high demands for the drying process. We will present our results regarding process development for this demanding material. Using innovative drying technology and optimized coating methods we were able to implement the fabrication of nanocellulose coated paperboard at pilot scale. |

Printed electronics for wearable applications This presentation will explain the work performed at Holst Centre in the field of printed electronics for wearable applications. Using screen printing of stretchable pastes onto stretchable substrates, prototypes for medical and garment applications are being developed. For this, a good insight in material performance is needed, ranging from stretchability of the paste and substrate to e.g. performance of the electrodes to measure heartbeat and ECG signals. Together with our partners and customers, we work together to further improve these mat gain more insight in current materials and develop new applications. |

Integrated functions from the line – smart composites manufactured continuously Functional integration is one of the main aspects of future composite production. The full benefit of multilaminar materials can be achieved by integrating functions like structural health monitoring, conductive properties, and heating possibility. State of the art is time- and cost consuming application of electronic components for functionalisation. New technological approaches developed at ITA allows inline printing of electronic components from roll to roll in combination with tailored impregnation. |

Enabling Intelligence in Nano-manufacturing of Organic & Printed Electronics by In-Line Metrology and Control The reliable manufacturing of flexible Organic Electronic devices by large scale Roll-to-Roll printing processes is largely dependent on the homogeneous and reproducible fabrication of printed nanomaterials with stable functional properties (optical, electrical, structural) and interface quality over large areas. In this presentation, we report our results for the reliable manufacturing of printed nanomaterials and devices for Organic and Printed Electronic devices, based on the implementation of intelligent in-line optical metrology tools. Moreover, we report on the development of intelligent modelling procedures that can extract from single very fast optical in-line measurements significant information such as film quality, morphology, degradation traces and film thickness. |

Symposium
Ideas, know-how, and contacts:
Presentations and tests on pilot plants: A tried-and-tested combination of theory and practice.
Since the year 2000, Coatema has held an annual symposium for coating, printing and laminating.
Speakers from industry, science and the economy talk about the latest developments and, in turn, acquire new impetus from the international public. Immediately afterwards, the topics discussed are demonstrated in practical use at our R&D centre. This unique combination of theory and practice has come to epitomise the Coatema symposium. Why don't you, too, take the opportunity to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and technical depth of this top event?
(Please note that all talks are given in English.)
The Coatema symposium has become a not-to-be-missed event for practitioners and opinion leaders in the coating technology field. In the autumn of each year, researchers, product developers, process and application engineers, machine designers and builders, and production/marketing experts meet in Dormagen, Germany to exchange information and maintain contacts.
