UNAVOIDABLE VENUE CHANGE

Please do not register until we have information on a new venue

 

 

Unfortunately due to the on-going political situation in Serbia we have taken the difficult decision not to take MMA to Serbia this year as planned. We intend to move this year’s event to another country, and are currently working to this goal. More information as we have it.

We apologise for any incovenience caused by this change at this time, and we very much hope to hold MMA in Serbia in the near future.

THE LEADING EVENT FOR MAGNETIC MATERIALS & APPLICATIONS

The UK Magnetics Society invites you to join MMA25, our flagship international event dedicated to research and innovation in magnetic materials and their applications.

This year, we are heading further east than ever before, to Niš, Serbia — a hub of opportunity in Eastern Europe’s rapidly expanding magnetic technology sector.

Over two days of talks, networking, and technical tours, you’ll connect with global experts advancing magnetic innovation across industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, industrial, and research.

Next-Level Magnet Inspection: SENIS 3D Magnetic Field Mapping System and Pure 3D Magnetic Camera SENCAM
by Dragana Popovic Renella of SENIS Group, Switzerland

Accurate magnetic field measurement is essential for industries requiring precise magnet inspection in R&D, QA, and production. SENIS provides two cutting-edge solutions: the MMS-1A-RS Magnetic Field Mapping System, which measures Bx, By, Bz, and Btotal at a single point in space, and the SENCAM, a matrix of pure 3D Hall sensors, each measuring Bx, By, Bz, and Btotal at a single point. The MMS-1A-RS mapper is primarily used in R&D, QA, and small-volume production, offering automated, high-resolution mapping of magnetic fields in permanent magnets, electromagnets, and electronic components. It utilizes a non-magnetic Cartesian platform and advanced 3D Hall probes. The SENCAM features over 16'000 pure 3D magnetic sensors (or 3-axis magnetic field pixels) for unparalleled resolution in capturing magnetic field strength and direction in QA and production. Its ultra-small field-sensitive volume (27 × 9 × 4 µm³ per 3D pixel) and high-speed imaging (7 full images per second or image partitions of interest per millisecond) enable detailed inspection on production lines, even for complex magnet geometries and high magnetic field gradients. Both systems provide traceable accuracy, ISO 17025-certified calibration, and seamless software integration, making them invaluable tools for quality control, advanced magnetic engineering, and production line inspection.

Transfer of Complex Polarization Distributions in Permanent Magnets to Customers
by Thomas Schliesch of MAX BAERMANN GMBH

Some specific manufacturing methods for permanent magnets, as those as injection molding, often lead to complex distributions of inherent parameters like remanent polarization or recoil permeability. Knowledge about those distributions can be crucial for the magnet’s customers when doing their own simulations and predictions about the performance of the final application. Examples are simulations of complex magnets in electrical machines, magnetic sensors or magnetic couplings. In many cases it can be difficult to do a direct transfer of data from the magnet’s manufacturer to the end customer due to the use of different simulation systems or by restrictions by the customer’s software. The presentation will start with descriptions of how related distributions of magnetic parameters can be gained by adequate simulations at the manufacturer’s site. It will then explain the various ways how sufficient transfer of data to the customer’s end can be performed. When not using same simulation systems by the magnet producer and the customer, a transfer by use of discrete local distributions can be an option. Unfortunately, many commercial software packages have problems with implementing respective distributions by element or volume-wise changing of material data. As a solution, sometimes heuristic models provide sufficient results, but often with poor accuracy. Instead of that, many numerical packages can handle distributions of inherent magnetic parameters like the polarization vector by mathematical equations. So, the talk will provide various attempts for mathematical approximations to feed respective software systems with magnetic distributions of periodic as well as non-periodic kind. A variety of simulations of different sorts of magnets will be presented together with comparative measured data.
