Where Creativity meets Expertise

We offer the full competence stack required to develop high-tech machines. We translate your requirements into a mechanical design. Our model-based approach fuses mechanics, control, electronics and software, to reduce the iterations and cost during development.

Mechanical engineering

We design mechatronic systems, test setups, tooling and scientific instruments according to your specifications from the initial concept to a prototype or fully qualified system, ensuring reliable performance, durability and accuracy.

Precision Engineering

We apply precision engineering design principles, ensuring control over degrees of freedom and integrating elastic elements to reduce friction, hysteresis, and microslip, all to achieve exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

Mechatronics

Our mechatronics expertise combines mechanical engineering with electronics and software to create intelligent, integrated systems.

Simulation & FEM

Utilizing advanced software tools, we can simulate the performance during the design phase, thereby minimizing the need for extensive design iterations and ultimately reducing the overall cost.

Control & Automation

We excel in motion and equipment control, employing frequency-domain tuning, robust feedback, MIMO, iterative learning, model-based control, seamlessly integrating diverse real-time platforms to achieve ultimate performance.

Thermal Design & Analysis

Thermal effects impact the performance (accuracy, drift and lifetime) of machines. We can model the thermal behavior and improve the design.

System Engineering

Creating multi-disciplinary systems necessitates the expertise of system architecture. With over a decade of experience, we bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.

Dynamics

We master dynamic analysis via multi-domain modeling, from quick mass-spring estimates to detailed FEM, iteratively integrating Matlab-Simulink to predict performance and optimize the design.

Software

From PLC and motion-platform code to intuitive operator interfaces, we develop robust control software that drives precise automation and delivers real-time insight into machine performance.

Piezo Technology

The piezoelectric effect is used for precise positioning and compensation at nanometer level. We can design piezo actuators, stick-slip motors and ultrasonic piezo motors.

Metrology

With knowledge of metrology principles, such as the Abbe principle, we ensure measurement accuracy is built into your design from the start.

Cryogenic engineering

Cryogenic temperatures are more commonly used in different research areas and for the development of new materials. We know how to design for cryogenic temperatures.

Air bearings

Air bearings are used for frictionless motion to achieve sub-micron position accuracy and repeatability. We can model and design both porous and aerostatic bearings.

Vacuum technology

We understand the fundamental principles of vacuum technology and the design principles necessary to attain ultra-high vacuum conditions.

Dynamics

We master dynamic analysis via multi-domain modeling, from quick mass-spring estimates to detailed FEM, iteratively integrating Matlab-Simulink to predict performance and optimize the design.
