Technologie

Auf den Mikrometer genau.

In der Mess- und Prüftechnik müssen Antriebe Bewegungen häufig auf den Mikrometer genau ausführen. Außerdem müssen Messgeräte heute in der Lage sein, lange Reihe von Tests automatisch und reproduzierbar durchzuführen. maxon Motoren mit Positioniersteuerungen übernehmen diese Aufgaben absolut zuverlässig in: 

  • 3D-Messmaschinen
  • LiDAR-Systemen
  • Oberflächenprüfgeräten
  • Scanner
  • Total Stationen
  • Präzisionswaagen
