Working on edge AI, vision, or robotics?

A single embedded platform might cover all three, if it’s built with reuse and integration in mind. We often see engineers hitting friction when they move from prototype to deployment. Shifting form factors or rewriting software slows down progress and increases risk. Read more [Picture source: TOP-electronics on linkedin.com]

Confocale point sensoren

Een polychromatische lichtbron verlicht het oppervlak van het object in kwestie. Dit licht wordt op verschillende afstanden gericht, afhankelijk van de golflengte en alleen het licht van een zeer smal golflengtebereik wordt gericht op het te meten oppervlak, waarbij het resterende licht concentrisch rond dit scherpstelpunt op een groter gebied wordt verdeeld. Door de golflengte van…

Advancement Powered By Piezo

As semiconductor manufacturing pushes the limits of miniaturization and precision, piezoelectric systems are emerging as key enablers of next-generation chip production.This article explores how piezo actuators and positioners —known for sub-nanometer accuracy and high-speed responsiveness— are being integrated across front-end and back-end processes, from wafer inspection and polishing to defect analysis and fine-pitch bonding.Despite challenges like hysteresis and environmental constraints,…

Diaphragm vacuum pumps

Diaphragm vacuum pumps generate vacuum by moving a flexible membrane known as a diaphragm up and down. This diaphragm also hermetically seals the compression chamber from the motor, preventing the pumped medium from being contaminated by the gear oil.

Building a multifaceted engineering career through consultancy

Seven years ago, Jasper Verhoeven, armed with a dual master’s degree in mechanical engineering and Nuclear Fusion from the Eindhoven University of Technology, took his first steps into the engineering world. Fresh from academia, he was eager to explore the dynamics of the corporate world. “I wanted to look around first and try different things to…
