KMWE celebrates 70 years of innovation and growth

On April 23, 1955, our journey began in a small workshop in Eindhoven. With just one milling and one turning machine, we quickly grew into a trusted supplier for companies such as Philips and DAF. Thanks to continuous investments and strategic choices, we have grown into an international high-tech organisation. Read more

Improving the safety and longevity of future space missions

Claudia Rodríguez del Río, who did an internship and MSc. Thesis in collaboration with Bart Van De Laar at our Delft office and Ines Uriol Balbin at the Delft University of Technology, worked on a project focused on modelling satellite models and developing a deorbiting module for CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit with the goal of…

2025: Expanded GEM300 Standard Usage and Cybersecurity

As we look toward 2025, one trend we observe gaining momentum is the increased adoption of GEM300 standards for wafer sizes smaller than 300mm. Historically, GEM300 was predominantly associated with 300mm tools, but its relevance is now expanding across fabs that are being retrofitted or that are introducing automated guided vehicles (AGV) and overhead hoist transport…

Supply Chain Risk Management in PCB Design with SiliconExpert and CR-8000 Integration

Effective supply chain risk management has become essential for design engineers and procurement teams, especially as issues around component availability, lead times, and obsolescence continue to affect project timelines and costs. Zuken’s integration with SiliconExpert, within the CR-8000 and DS-CR design environments, offers a structured approach to supply chain risk management by supporting intelligent component selection and library management, ultimately…

The new QTR 160 high stack motors give the most torque while remaining compact

With only 160 mm outer diameter the QTR High-stack torque motors are the solution for higher torque if your application does not allow a larger diameter.QTR high-stack motors are excellent for many semiconductor applications, such as wafer handling and translational movement. The motors ensure accurate rotation and safe transport to the next station.

ISO 5/6/7 Modular Hardwall cleanroom for Gpixel Europe
