PUSHING THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGH-TECH SYSTEMS TO NEW EXTREMES
Technology is changing the world in many ways. Advanced machines and control systems are needed to enable future technological progress. Precision engineering and mechatronics span the scientific and engineering disciplines to provide machines and instruments of improved performance.
We master these disciplines and have a proven track record in the development of high-tech systems. Contact us or check our services and see what we can do for you.
OUR SERVICES
Based on more than 10 years of experience we offer assistance in the development of high-tech mechanic and mechatronic systems where precision is key. We can support you from a feasibility study up to a full functioning system.
1. ANALYSE
You have a problem or a new idea and you need an expert? We can analyze your problem and perform a feasibility study.
2. CONCEPT & DESIGN
When all specifications are defined, we start with a concept design and an initial component selection. After concept approval in consultation with the customer, we will make a detailed design.
3. MODELING & ANALYSIS
Predictive numerical and FEM models will be made to calculate or simulate the performance. Calculations are made during the design phase to optimize the design and shorten the engineering process and the number of iterations.
4. REALIZATION & VALIDATION
The designed system will be realized. Parts will be made by high-quality suppliers and then assembled and integrated in house. Finally, the system will be validated and tested by our engineers.
OUR COMPETENCIES
We have the fundamental knowledge of physics, mechanics and mechatronics to meet the new extremes of tomorrow.
SIMULATION & FEM
We have advanced simulation and calculation software to analyze complex systems in an early design phase.
TEST & VALIDATION
We have the experience and equipment to test and validate the performance of a novel concept or system.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
We can translate overall system requirements into a high-level system design by a multi-disciplinary knowledge and experience.
PRECISION ENGINEERING
We master the design principles of precision engineering to achieve excellent and predictable behavior and avoid hysteresis, drift and an overdetermined system for extreme accuracies and stabilities.
MACHINE DESIGN
We design machines, tools and test equipment from a simple sketch on paper until a fully detailed 3D CAD model. Both for atmosphere, vacuum and cleanroom conditions.
MECHATRONICS
We are experts in mechanics, electronics and control engineering to design and automate state-of-the-art mechatronic systems.
PROJECTS
We work for many international customers and respect confidentiality. Therefore we can only show a limited number of projects and information.
