DirJournal's Perspective

Editorial analysis

The range runs from motors and stages up to custom engineered motion systems and integrated automation systems. Motion control platforms bundle software, controllers and drives, and the automation line includes 3D metrology systems. Engineering is the company's stated root: engineers founded it, and it has worked in motion since 1970. It launched the HexGen hexapod product series, which it describes as the world's first hexapod to guarantee micrometer-level positioning accuracy. The company is building a new facility in Fürth, Germany, with manufacturing capabilities alongside integration and metrology.
