MEET OUR SPEAKERS Keynote speaker Kai Cheng: Ultra-precision machining of high-precision appliances Renowned engineer Professor Cheng, Professor of Manufacturing Systems at Brunel University London, will guide you through the world of ultra-precision machining. His current research focuses on high-precision machine design, nanofabrication and smart machining, among other topics. What technologies are needed for ultraprecision machining of high-precision components and equipment? And how should ultraprecision manufacturing systems be developed and designed? These are the questions that will be the focus of Cheng’s presentation. He will delve deeper into industrial applications, such as varifocal lenses made of a silicone hydrogel material that is extremely oxygen-permeable, ICT hardware, and engine components. Keynote speaker Jelm Franse on applications for precision engineering at ASML The road map for product performance at ASML is demanding ever more accurate and faster motion and stable imaging capacity. After all, modules and components that barely wear out are needed in order to maintain performance throughout the processing of millions of wafers in factories. Jelmer Franse has worked at ASML as Senior Director Mechanics since 2010 and is responsible for numerous mechanical precision modules in ASML’s machines. During his presentation, Franse will discuss precision engineering at ASML and the hot topics, trends, challenges and breakthroughs that are involved. The presentation will outline how precision engineering is facilitating the road map for ASML lithography machines, the challenges involved and the work in progress on various breakthroughs in materials and manufacturing techniques. 20
