Highly precise micro manufacturing
Ever increasing requirements for precision and size of machined parts have
driven the development of highest-precision machining tools. The Square
Foot Manufacturing concept separates well-known machining centers into
small-sized sub-groups having standardized interfaces not only for power
and data transmission but also for the transmission of processing forces and
moments. Laser interferometry plays a key role in the piezo-based feed units
of this concept as well as in the measurement of the reproducibility of these
interfaces.

Ultra precise contactless detection of bearing errors
Error motions of rotating objects are of major interest in high precision mechanical engineering. In case of a high speed spindle, even sub-nm deviations
from a perfect rotation can create undesired vibrations or error movements.
Monitoring error motion with sub-nm resolution is therefore of prime necessity from state of the art mechanical engineering to nanotomography research.

High resolution X-ray microscopy
When developing an X-ray microscope capable of nm resolution, careful
design is a must. Thermal and mechanical stability of the components and assemblies has to be followed throughout the process. The attoFPSensor shows
superior performance regarding its outstanding stability and its capability of
measuring sub-nm displacements and is therefore the ideal supplement for
the mechanical control of all components used in the described X-ray microscope setup achieving a resolution in the order of 40 nm.
