Collaborative project

CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES is involved in several national or international collaborative projects like FP7, Eureka, FUI, ANR and so on.

We bring to the consortiums our engineering skills on mechatronic, piezoelectricity, electromagnetism, magnetostrictive and so on. In the same time this fruitfull collaborations with industrial and a academic partners allows us to overcome technical limitations and develops innovative products or building blocks.

You will find here some examples on representative and interresting projects:

SONO“R”US : Machine for Microparts Moulding based on UltraSound Excitation    technological leaflet   request for information
Description: The aim of SONO“R”US is to allow redefining some of the key features of the prototype developed under the Sonoplast project. The result will be a ready-to-market micromoulding machine that represents flexible, reliable and cost efficiency solutions for producing complex shaped and functional ?-parts.
Applications: Ultrasonic transducer ; Piezoelectric ; Magnetostrictive ;Micro injection, moulding machine, polymere, micro-part, European FP7 project
Status: Concept
SONO : A pilot line of antibacterial medical textiles based on a sonochemical process    technological leaflet   request for information
Description: The SONO project aims at developing a pilot line of antibacterial and antifungal medical textiles based on a sonochemical process patented at BIU laboratories. CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES will develop the mechatronic hardware for this pilot line including the transducers.
Applications: Ultrasonic transducer ; Piezoelectric ; Magnetostrictive ; Sonochemical reactor ; medical textile
