Spotlight on Innovation: Advanced Manufacturing/I 4.0
Every month we’ll share just a couple of the many unique and exciting Israeli innovations we’ve seen. This month, we are highlighting Israeli technology in the Advanced Manufacturing space. If you’re interested in connecting with these companies, please reach out to bernard@michiganisrael.com.
Civan Lasers – Next-Generation Lasers for Next-Generation Material Processing
While traditional lasers used for welding offer few adjustable parameters beyond power, spot size, and feed rate, Civan’s Dynamic Beam Laser (DBL) allows manufacturers to quickly tailor the welding process to the application. With the ability to control beam shape, beam sequence, shape frequency, and focal depth at MHz speeds without any moving parts, Civan’s disruptive DBL technology not only improve joint quality but also offer increased power, increased feed rates, and more efficient production of new, complex, products made of dissimilar materials.
PolyMertal – Metal Replacement of High-End Functional Parts
PolyMertal provides groundbreaking technology through metallization of polymers, the world’s best material combination for functional parts to the industry. The polymer, along with PolyMertal’s unique metal layers, transforms into the all-new hybrid part that is light-weight and less expensive without losing any of the properties of metal necessary for an application.
