LPA-ZIP is a group of researchers and developers of non-traditional actuators and the supporting power and control electronics at Saarland University’s Laboratory for Process Automation (LPA) and industrial development Centre for Innovative Production (ZIP).
The group has many years of experience in multi-lateral, national and international, publicly and industrially funded RTD projects including ECAMMA, MADAVIC, MESA, MESEMA and MAFFIX, providing solutions based on unconventional actuators involving coupled-field materials such as piezoelectric ceramics, magnetostrictives as well as electro- and magneto-rheological fluids. A high level of expertise exists in the development and production of actuators and power electronics.
