News from miniaturization, microsystem technology, nanotechnology

Here you will find components, systems and technologies for your development in microsystem technology, for miniaturization and the Nanotechnology such as sensors, actuators, microfluidics, micromechanics and micro-optics.

Starpower semiconductor material

Microsystems technology is becoming more and more important for industry in the course of miniaturization, digitization and automation. Microsystems are composed of micromechanics, microelectronics, microfluidics and microoptics. Applications of microsystem technology can be found in Electrical Engineering and Medical Technology. It becomes even smaller with nanotechnology, which is an extension of microsystem technology. This is based on the proportions of the nanoparticles and takes place in the millionth of a millimeter. The lotus effect from bionics is probably one of the most famous applications here.

Crimp-based wire-to-board connectors for printed circuit boards

Phoenix Contact wire to board connectorThe crimp-based wire-to-board connectors Connexis has Phoenix Contact for the cable assembly designed in automated production. They allow fast and precise PCB connector. Optical identification on the connector makes assembly in the field or in-house production clear. The user can choose from a large number of individual prints. 

 


Powerful compensating coupling from 1 mm bore diameter

Orbit compensating couplingWith the naked eye, the holes with a diameter of 1 mm or more are small Micro couplings from Orbit Drive Technology almost unrecognizable. Nevertheless, such a compensating coupling offers a performance that one might not expect from its tiny size. Their outer diameter can be compared to that of a ladybug and with their bore diameter they would fit into a larger spaghetti. 

 


viscotec10418The dispenser brand “Preeflow” is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. With its systems, it offers the optimal solution in microdosing technology when it comes to high-precision results and special customer requests. The precision metering pumps are used globally as volumetric metering systems and have developed into the workhorse of Viscotec.

Representative of Microtechnology At the present time, the industry does not assume that the industry will suffer the consequences of the long term Corona pandemic will suffer. 63% do not currently expect any long-term effects that will have a lasting impact on microtechnology for several months or even years. This was the result of a flash survey by the Ivam Professional association for microtechnology on March 19, 2020, which was carried out among the members based in Germany.

isabellenhuette0318With the BVF, Isabellenhütte Heusler has developed a precision resistor that not only offers a unique size 1213 (3,1 x 3,3 mm), but also an extremely high load capacity and precision. Smaller electrically operated applications in particular benefit from the properties of the high-performance component that the manufacturer has now added to the series repertoire.

IEF WernerPalletizing systems must provide raw parts, semi-finished products or components in an oriented manner, and be able to feed and remove them carefully, in an orderly manner and in a predetermined position from the assembly area or the machine. The various palletizers from IEF-Werner are designed precisely for these tasks. With their open and modular design, they ensure more individuality for the user. The “Smallstack” series palletizer is a new development - for handling miniature components or for micro-assembly.

faulhaber0412With the new DC miniature motors of the 1336… CXR and 1741… CXR series, Faulhaber is expanding its range of drives in the medium power range. The new drives offer a high power density with dynamic 4 or 8 mNm continuous torque with an extremely flat slope of the n / M characteristic. The graphite commutated motors are based on the concept of the CXR series and offer high-quality materials.

viscotec0119Viscotec has presented the new micro-dosing control "Eco-Control EC200 2.0", which will be available on the market as early as March. In combination with the "Eco-PEN" and "Eco-DUO" dispensers, it ensures maximum precision and reliability in the dosing process.

infineon0619At the Sensor + Test trade fair, Infineon is the first semiconductor manufacturer to bring a monolithically integrated linear Hall sensor onto the market that has been developed entirely in accordance with the ISO26262 safety standard for automotive applications: the "Xensiv TLE4999I3" enables the development of fault-tolerant systems with just one component that must meet the highest requirement level for functional safety (ASIL D).

The extensive test capacities on the Coronavirus require automated analyzers. The efficiency in terms of test numbers, personnel and security is particularly important here. micropumps from HNP Microsystems help to run the processes in parallel and make them faster.

optocouplerRenesas Electronic puts five new ones optocoupler with 8,2 mm creepage distance. They are the world's smallest insulation modules for industryautomation and Solar inverters. With a package width of 2,5 mm, the RV1S92xxA and RV1S22xxA reduce the PCB mounting area by 35% compared to products from other manufacturers. 

zorn0219The smaller the workpiece, the more demanding the dimensional accuracy, this is especially true for use in the dental laboratory. Solid natural stone gives the micro machining center Zorn "Microone" the necessary stability. The Microone offers 5-axis simultaneous machining and CAM / CAD-made individual abutments for dental implant technology.

jenoptik0619Jenoptik has expanded the “Jenar” F-Theta lens series for laser material processing to include a lens for the UV range: the F-Theta full quartz lens for 355 nm applications, with a focal length of 56 mm and a scan field of 22 mm, makes a lot possible small spot diameters down to 4,5 µm. It is specially designed for use in micro material processing and is suitable for applications with ultra-short pulses.

Framos offers with the new OLED microdisplay ECX335S series from Sony Semiconductor Solutions a solution that is suitable for the fast growing market of Augmented Reality (AR) devices. They are used in e.g. B. Head Mounted Displays (HMD), electronic viewfinders (VF) and as small monitors.
