"Micro and Nano Code  on  Production Tools"


Description of existing technology platform
( keywords: micro-, nano structure, surface, tools) 

Micro and nano structures are in general not visible for the human eye. This is one reason to use those structures for marking and signature your production tools:

-	Stamping tool
-	Embossing tool
-	Injection mould
-	Casting tool
-	Cold-, warm rolling cylinder
-	Deep drawing tool
-	Extrusion tool
-	Printing tool

Each part produced with such a coded tool is ideal for individual identification in case of forgery and plagiarism.

Especially in micro and nano parts production you will consider this type of marking because of small dimensions of products and production tools.

This technology offers in addition to its micro and nano features the possibility of individual identification by documentation in relation to its production process or integrate within products, producers, owners, suppliers and users.

The micro and nano structuring could be realised by embossing relevant tool surfaces with an individual three dimensional structure. Innovation is it could be done directly on nearly all materials, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and coatings. 







The coding process comes automatically with a set of measurements for identification.


Applications possible:

Bank notes, arts, safety parts ( car, aero plane, power plant) porcelain, glas, watches, jewellery, micro parts and - systems, micro electronic and others.  
Names of companies, product informations, owners code could be marked and signatured against plagiarism. (International Patent PCT/DE2010/075051)


Materials, coatings

Important for a user of this method/technology is the use on nearly all materials like ceramic, glas, metal, alloys, chemical substances, coatings, paints and others, e.g. TiC, Alumina, TiN, WC, MMC´s.

Quality assurance, Research& Development

Another high innovative field of application for parts with a signature of this kind is quality control and inspection of friction & wear, corrosion, plastic deformation, temper, and similar influences on parts and surfaces. This is relevant in case of damage and wear of original products compared to non originals. 


Innovation aspects 

- Individual complex signatures
- All kinds of materials, glas, ceramic, alloys, polymer, coatings
- not visible, non detectable from  non  authorized persons
- no limits in use
- possible size and area of measurement 0,00001 mm or 0,01 µm
- low cost of investment, possible standard for QA
- Equipment on the market  
- No implanting, sticking, glueing or colours
- No chemicals, environmental safe, no optical effects, no surface damage

Cooperation opportunities

- application oriented development with customer
- contract development on individual products, brands, companies, inscriptions
- FP7- project proposals
- Licensee of international patent
