There were almost five times as many new production procedures than at the previous trade fair, including the booming industry of additive manufacturing (plastics, ceramics or metal).<\/p>\n<p>A genuine laboratory for the micromechanics of the future, the trade fair gave visitors the chance to explore the new technological frontiers envisaged by the companies operating in this unique sector. This was emphasised by the achievements of the winners of the 2018 Microns and Nano d&#8217;Or competition. Their expertise is used to push the boundaries of plastic injection to nano dimensions, manipulate and assemble ever smaller components, exploit to the utmost limits the capacity of a machining centre to produce patterns of a complexity never seen before, produce parallel robots of Lilliputian dimensions or perform nano surface treatments. Due to this extensive know-how, laser machines have become increasingly versatile and control methods have adapted to this minuscule world.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Microns and Nano d&#8217;Or<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Nano d\u2019Or: Protavic International<\/li>\n<li>5 Microns d\u2019Or: VP Plast, Percipio Robotics, Vuichard Michel, Lasea, Femto-st\/robotique<\/li>\n<li>1 Jury first prize: St\u00e4ubli Robotics<\/li>\n<li>2 Special jury prizes: Expertise Vision, Aurea Technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Micronora has always been an incomparable showcase for all these astonishing innovations, and the 2018 edition is no exception to the rule, the fair is also a major catalyst for ideas. This approach was illustrated this year by the Zoom event, which hosted an operational Autonomous Production Unit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Zoom Industry 4.0 popular with exhibitors and visitors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Based on an original idea by Michel Froelicher, Vice-Chairman of Micronora, the APU used design, manufacturing (machining and 3D printing), marking, control and robotics equipment to produce a complex plastic\/metal set. The software for the production system was developed by a Besan\u00e7on start-up, MC Robotics, and its founder Mathieu Charles. \u201cThis production installation demonstrates that an SME can obtain resources available on the market at a lower cost, and so transition easily to the Industry 4.0 approach,\u201d concludes Michel Froelicher. \u201cTo master it, however, you need specialists. This will require significant training programmes, which must start immediately. At this price, and only at this price, will we be able to respond to the major changes currently taking place in the labour market and have enough candidates for the thousands of jobs that will be created in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Industry 4.0 <a href=\"https:\/\/micronora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MIC18-Toutes_conferences_pour_site-mod.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conference programme<\/a> attracted a large number of exhibitors and visitors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>11th Micro Nano Event<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>150 BtoB meetings &#8211; 85 participants &#8211;<strong> 13 nationalities represented.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe crossing of technologies, matching of skills and mixing of backgrounds were a winning combination at this event, leading to a number of collaborations.<br \/>\nThe topics discussed included materials and surfaces, micro and nanosystems, intelligent manufacturing and digital technology.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Smart Plastics Congress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the second time, the International Smart Plastics Congress was held at the Micronora trade fair on 27 and 28 September, bringing together 70 participants from France, Germany, Spain, Finland and Switzerland.<strong> International participation was higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Exhibitor testimonial &#8211; Microtolerie Dallard \/ Saulce sur Rh\u00f4ne<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cWe make micro-sheet metal prototypes, parts weighing less than 1g, for all markets. Micronora 2018 was an excellent event, with some very good leads. We met people from Greece, Denmark, India, Switzerland, Germany and France.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>We take part in 3 or 4 trade fairs in France and Micronora is definitely a cut above the rest. We will of course be back in 2022.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_ogeeat_og_title":"","_ogeeat_og_description":"","_ogeeat_og_image":"","_ogeeat_tw_title":"","_ogeeat_tw_description":"","_ogeeat_tw_image":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2181","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!--
