Thesis: Optimizing Adhesive Bonds for Highest Precision (SS27)

Thesis at TRUMPF in Schramberg on optimizing adhesive mounting of optical elements for laser beam sources. Starts in the summer semester 2027.

• As part of your thesis, you optimize adhesive mountings of various optical elements, focusing on their precision over the whole lifetime of our laser beam sources
• You get familiar with measuring devices such as the autocollimator and polarimeter and use them in the lab
• Working with the tensile testing machine as another central measuring instrument is also part of your tasks
• You evaluate the bonding on sample parts for precision and durability
• From your evaluations you derive concrete proposals for optimizing the adhesive mountings

• A degree in mechanical engineering, physical technology, precision engineering or a comparable qualification forms your technical foundation
• Ideally you have first experience working with adhesives
• Ideally you are also already familiar with using measuring devices in the lab
• In the lab environment you stand out through a structured and independent way of working as well as analytical and conceptual skills
• Very good German and good English skills, spoken and written
