Move a stage in x, and it drifts slightly in y. At nanometer level, that drift decides what your system achieves.
A typical lithography stage positions itself relative to an isolated optical system. Their dynamics couple across axes. Decoupled control treats each axis as its own loop. That keeps the design simple, but it hides the interaction that limits bandwidth. Read more [Picture source: Demcon high-tech systems on linkedin.com]
boosting the actuator efficiency of reluctance actuators with permanent magnets
Electromagnetic actuators are an important actuation tool to achieve positioning precision on the nanometer scale. In this realm Lorentz actuators are the mostly used, due to their linear dependence between actuation force and applied current. The ever growing demand to increase the force efficiency of the actuator leads towards more detailed investigations of reluctance actuation….
Demcon levert bijdrage aan innovatieve en duurzame bouwmethode
Bij de bouw van een nieuw appartementencomplex voor senioren op het Gezondheidspark in Hengelo wordt een bijzondere bouwmethode toegepast: de gevel wordt niet traditioneel gemetseld, maar droog gestapeld. Hierdoor zijn geen metselspecie of voegen nodig en kunnen de gebruikte bakstenen in de toekomst eenvoudiger worden hergebruikt. Lees meer

The Demcon 2026 Photonics Grand Tour & The Big Opportunities
Demcon is one of Optica’s largest engineering corporate members, and it has recently set up a dedicated photonics division. I spent a day there with the managing director for Demcon photonics, Thijs Kniknie, and it was quite an experience. Read more and watch the video
Building a sun on earth sounds extremely challenging. And it is nothing less
Plasma held in place by powerful magnetic fields. Cryogenic systems operating at temperatures close to absolute zero. Diagnostic instruments measuring plasma composition, neutron flux, x-ray radiation and more, in an environment no sensor was originally designed for. Remote handling systems operating where no human can go. Read more [Picture source: Demcon…
