Student assistant in the field of high-speed drives for laser material processing

Job description

At the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, we may not be developing lightsabers to fight the dark side of the force, but our innovationsoften sound like something out of science fiction. That’s because we’re shaping the technologies and processes for the future of digitalmanufacturing, packaging and scanning technology, and many other laser-based applications, such as 3D printing. At Fraunhofer ILT, a novel, compact technology for the automated deflection of laser beams has been developed, enabling the use of high-power laser sources in industrial production processes. Here, you will develop the control system for a novel, compact technology for the ultra-fast deflection of laser beams. In doing so, you will make high-power lasers suitable for industrial use, for applications such as 3D printing and laser marking. Your control algorithms will determine the dynamics, precision and stability – directly measurable in the laboratory. Why this is exciting for you: You can apply your knowledge of control engineering directly to production-oriented applications, observe how your algorithms work live within the system, and contribute to industrial collaborations and high-impact...
