Engineering in the microcosm: Nanorobotics moves kilograms of weight

In the last years Klocke Nanotechnik and partners developed a new Nanorobotics system that builds a bridge between nanotechnology and the classical mechanical engineering. These products combine the advantages of both technologies: the backlash free movement with resolution of down to 2 nm and the capability of up to two kilograms of load at up to 70 mm stroke.

The Nanorobotics series with the smallest and most precise positioning modules allows microassembly, interconnection technology, analysis and reliability testing with plenty degrees of freedom. All Nanorobotics modules can easily be fixed onto each other. Equipped with high resolution position sensors they allow automation with resolutions far below 50 nm.
