EMLACS

The experience and the know-how of ILS are known around the world in various industries. Since its creation in 2003, ILS forged itself a name synonym of serious, know-how and quality. 

Our company built and installed special machines of laser machining answering the needs of the motor, medical, nuclear, factoring, aeronautic and spatial industry. 

The right Laser source for the right Process 

With ILS you will benefit from years of work experience in various domains using laser processing. 

It all begins with our study department which listens to each of your demands and with you, takes part in the creation of your system, the one which will fulfill your reliability, accuracy, sturdiness and productivity standards. 

Design on a Solidwork station 

Besides, it’s important to choose the right type of laser source so that the said source is ideally adapted to the process: pulsated (femto, pico, nano…), continued stream, UV, visible or IR. 

Together with our partners, we perform trials allowing the qualification of the laser settings for a given process. 

This stage is essential. It will allow us to validate the type of source, its power measurements, so its ability to fullfill your process requirement its cost. 

Laser machines with a multidisciplinary capacity. 

Although our machines are made on demand, we always integrate standard elements in our systems. It allows us to maintain the continuous existence of your working tool and to optimize maintenance across the years. 

Some of our machines can integrated two kinds of laser sources. We were the first to develop such concept on our laser machining solutions. This allows the optimization of each laser source, while still working on the same machine. Thus you’ll win more room and you will save money. 

The laser technology is a fast evolving sector and we must integrate the most effective, sturdy and adapted sources to the need of our customers and fitting perfectly in an ecological and sustainable development logic. Thus our welding or cutting systems are built with sources having energetic yield above 30%. 

UTBM is one of the 3 French Universities of Technology, located in the industrial Belfort- Montbéliard area. It forms about 650 engineers and 35 PhD per year.

The Research Institute for Transportation, Energy and Society - IRTES, born January 1, 2012, is a research unit of the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard, Home Team (EA 7274) in the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MoR). Established in accordance with the 2012-2016 business plan, its primary improve the coherence of research UTBM and develop long-term purpose. The IRTES research institute regroups the 4 former UTBM research laboratories: IRTES-LERMPS, IRTES-M3M, IRTESRECITS and IRTES-SET. It staffs 300 employees and PhD students. Through its multidisciplinary approach, the IRTES is able to address a concerted manner, technological and societal issues related to the challenges of tomorrow's world in the field of energy and transport.

Articulated around the competencies of its laboratories, particularly in the disciplines of materials, mechanical, computer, automatic and humanities to promote multidisciplinary research, IRTES aims to meet modern challenges of our society.

In this institute, the IRTES-LERMPS laboratory, grounded in 1987, staffs 70 co-workers and is dedicated to research and development activities in surface science and engineering. It operates two technological platforms dedicated to Powder elaboration, Plasma Spray Processes and Adding Manufacturing and to PVD processes. It’s used to work with industrial partners in the frame of industrial contracts, regional/national/international projects. Within the project EMLACS, the IRTES-LERMPS brings its expertise and experience in the field of study and the implementation of planned deposits, specifically in the field of surface preparation before deployment, and changes of adhesion associated therewith. Indeed, a strong experience in the field of thermal spraying and cold spraying, it has developed a recognized both for the development and control of precursor materials for the production and characterization of coatings business. Mindful of technological developments to best meet the needs of the industrial world, its primary purpose is to control and process development implementation. To do this, say related or hybrid techniques tend to develop when it comes to combine different technologies to overcome limitations due to specific processes. It is precisely in this context also that the laboratory has distinguished itself there are more than 10 years in the field of surface preparation by laser associated with thermal spray technologies. Thus by a combination of laser power and a spraying torch, it has been demonstrated the beneficial effect of the photon radiation from both a standpoint of adhesion coatings (PROTAL ® method, texturing) but as structural (processes MELTPRO ® and Heat- Cool ®). The development of these new technologies provides a glimpse of new applications while ensuring minimal environmental impact surface treatments.
