COSMOS Components and Smart Machines with Micro-Nano Surface Embedded Sensors
The Vision • Improved interaction between human and machines. • Smart machines with imbedded sensors will improve safety, lifetime and performance. • Short periods with improper operation with critical parameters may be avoided. • Create intelligent surfaces of the future.
The Goal Develop a sensor embedded into a strong, self lubricating, diamond like carbon (DLC) coating. CVD DLC CCr-CrN layer Embedded Sensor Substrate
Cross-disciplinary task Sensor design and technology 3D structurization Sensor test Surface embedded sensors Coating test Interface: Wiring and electronics DLC coating technology
