Nuevos sistemas de evacuación de humos de combustión con minimización de la corrosión por presencia de condensados de nuevos combustibles y biomasa – COMICON

En el proyecto COMICON convergen diferentes sectores que han encontrado una problemática común: la corrosión generada por la presencia de condensados en sistemas de evacuación de humos de combustión. Esto implica la necesidad de obtener tecnologías más duraderas y resistentes a la corrosión generada por el empleo de diferentes combustibles cada vez más empleados en los sectores de energía y automoción, tales como biomasas y biodiesel, fuel de baja calidad y combustibles adulterados. El principal objetivo del proyecto COMICON es desarrollar nuevos productos frente a la corrosión generada por los humos de combustión con el fin de aumentar la vida útil de los sistemas de evacuación de gases, en condiciones de alta eficiencia.

Durante esta jornada, que se celebrará en las instalaciones de CTAG el día 30 de enero a las 11:00h, se presentarán los principales resultados obtenidos en el proyecto: Desarrollo módulo visualización para determinación de punto de rocío, generación y recogida de condensados en planta piloto, nueva gama de chimenea modular que reduce al mínimo la posibilidad de acumulación de condensados y mayor resistencia a corrosión, y nueva caldera de biomasa más compacta y modular, con alta eficiencia y durabilidad, y con un diseño que minimiza la aparición de condensados corrosivos.

El consorcio COMICON está formado por tres empresas, donde DINAK es el líder del proyecto, y otros dos referentes a nivel internacional en sus respectivos sectores: MECANIZADOS CASTRO y BORGWARNER. Además, cuentan con el apoyo del Centro Tecnológico de Automoción de Galicia (CTAG), del Centro Tecnológico AIMEN y la Universidad de Vigo, que cuentan con gran experiencia en I+D.

Este proyecto está subvencionado por la Axencia Galega de Innovación, ha sido apoyado por la Consellería de Economía, Emprego e Industria y cuenta con financiación FEDER, OT1 “Promover el desarrollo tecnológico, la innovación y una investigación de calidad”, P.O. FEDER Galicia 2014-2020.

CTAG coordinates the ITS España course on Automated and autonomous driving

Posted on 20 October, 201720 October, 2017 by desarrollo

This course, organised by ITS España, took place last October 17 at the Dirección General de Tráfico in Madrid. In addition to CTAG, a number of organisations and companies involved in autonomous driving collaborated, including DGT, INSIA, ASTI, Ferrovial, Here, RACC and Telefónica. The course was coordinated by Francisco Sánchez Pons, Director of Electronics and Intelligent Transport Systems at CTAG.

This was an excellent opportunity to go into detail about the technologies involved in automated and autonomous driving together with outstanding professionals of the sector. The main international initiatives and projects in this field were presented as well as topics on which the vehicle of the future is being built: technologies, legislative aspects, infrastructures, connectivity and validation and set-up. This last topic was presented by Rosa Blanco, Head of the Department of Validation of Electronic Systems, Quality and HMI at CTAG.

Presentation of innovative projects in PSA Booster Day

Gilles Le Borgne y Yann Vincent, junto a otros directivos, comprueban el sistema de robótica colaborativa desarrollado por CTAG

Booster Day is an event organised to present innovative solutions for the Factory of the Future. The event, held last September 20th at the Armand Peugeot Forum in Poissy, France, brought together leading technology partners of Groupe PSA, from start-ups and R&D laboratories, to suppliers and public organisations.

CTAG has participated for the first time this year presenting its latest advances in quality control using collaborative robotics, with a system that will help to perfect the assembly and welding of components. This system, made up of a robot with 3D sensor and analysis software, can analyse the conformity of parts. It has been designed following the guidelines of Industry 4.0, so it is considered as a portable and flexible solution that will speed up communication with the operator.

Some of Groupe PSA’s innovation leaders such as Gilles Le Borgne (Quality and Engineering Director) and Yann Vincent (Industrial Director) were able to test this system personally.

Lanzamiento de la Unidad Mixta de Investigación MGI-CTAG

Posted on 12 September, 201725 September, 2017 by desarrollo

El viernes 8 de septiembre tuvo lugar en las instalaciones de MGI COUTIER el acto de lanzamiento de la Unidad Mixta de Investigación MGI-CTAG, recientemente subvencionada por la Agencia Gallega de Innovación (GAIN), que contó con la presencia del Conselleiro de Economía, Empleo e Industria, Francisco Conde, y la Directora de GAIN, Patricia Argerey, así como destacados representantes tanto de la empresa como del centro.

La iniciativa entre MGI y CTAG es fruto de una amplia trayectoria de actividades y proyectos comunes, que se ve reforzada con esta UMI, cuyo principal objetivo es la combinación de sinergias para la obtención de nuevos sistemas de apertura de vehículos que darán lugar a una nueva generación de componentes, fundamentadas en el cumplimiento de las futuras tendencias y requerimientos del sector de automoción.

Desde el punto de vista estratégico, esta Unidad Mixta de Investigación busca desarrollar nuevas capacidades en Galicia, que refuercen el equipo humano especializado en I+D, y que permitan generar oportunidades de proyectos de ámbito internacional.

Para la consecución de estos objetivos, se han dividido las actividades en varias áreas temáticas de I+D orientadas a la búsqueda de nuevas tendencias estéticas, al estudio de los materiales para su aplicación en nuevos sistemas de apertura y al estudio de nuevas tendencias de fabricación.

Esta colaboración se inició en septiembre de 2016 y tendrá una duración de tres años, hasta octubre de 2019. El presupuesto movilizado supera los 2 millones de euros.

In addition, a visit to the laboratories associated with these lines of work was carried out, including CTAG’s Innovation Centre in Electronics.

Innovation Meeting highlighted Groupe PSA’s commitment to Spain in matters of R&D through the innovation collaborative ecosystem developed in Galicia in collaboration with CTAG and the support of the Xunta de Galicia.

CTAG participates in the XII National Congress of Composite Materials (MATCOMP 2017) with the project AEROCAR

Posted on 13 June, 201713 June, 2017 by desarrollo

San Sebastián
21, 22 and 23 June 2017

This biennial congress provides a unique forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest results of research and innovation projects related to the field of composites and high performance materials. This year, the Congress aims to reinforce the presence of advanced materials in relevant sectors in Spain, such as aeronautics, the automotive industry, railways, capital goods and machining/tooling, etc.

CTAG will take advantage of the forum of specialists that meets in this congress to present the conclusions of FORTAPE project (H2020-FOF, nº 636860) and to show how the experience gained in this project was key to make a centre specialized in the automotive business, like CTAG, find synergies and transfer possibilities in another technological sector, like aeronautics, opening a new line of work in order to capitalize and add value to the wide experience acquired over years of research and specialized customer service. Thus, through the new AEROCAR project (Interreg SUDOE, SOE1 / P1 / E0020), it is possible to boost an upward sector that is already prioritized in the European Commission’s strategic innovation agendas, Member States and even for many regional governments, which will generate an important socio-economic impetus for the regions included in the European Southwest Space.

The MATCOMP 2017 congress will take place at the Kursaal Congress Hall in San Sebastian from June 21 to 23. Check here the full programme: http://matcomp2017.com/images/PROGRAMA-MATCOMP2017.pdf
