Summary

Summary: 
The Swedish SME is a supplier of nanometer precision automation solutions for high precision microscopy, analysis equipment and production equipment. The SME provides a plug & play solution of high precision piezo stages as well as customized stages and customer specific solutions. The SME is looking for distributors and agents that have end customers in the life science and/or the semiconductor industry but also for manufacturers of equipment for those industries.

Description

Description: 

The Swedish company provides easy to use nanometer precision automation solutions to customers within science and industry. The founders of the company have over 20+ years of expertise in piezo motor innovation and development and can create cost efficient and easy to use high precision automation modules for fast and simple integration.

The solution is a modular plug & play nanometer resolution motion system for microscopy that offers unparalleled precision, load capacity and ease of use. The piezo-motorized stages move with nanometer precision, lift up to 500 grams. Easily controlled through an interface and application that the company has developed and an optional joystick. The user can choose between one, two or three stages and connect them to the controller. It's easy to plug in the controller and the optional Joystick to the computer and after that it's ready to be used.

The application is developed for Windows operative systems and support for multiple controllers for manual motion with up to three stages each. The user can move the stages with the buttons in the app, their keyboard or the optional joystick. It is possible to easily recall an earlier position by using the save function. The Windows app for programmatic motion enables plug & play command control. It is designed to be easy to use with specific commands and offers the possibility to seamlessly integrate one or more stages with the same commands into the system.

The stages can typically be used for moving samples under the microscope for general purposes or 2D stitching, moving microscope objectives for 3D image stacking and moving tool. For example in 3D micromanipulation when connecting to nerve cells within neuroscience and injecting sperms into egg cells within in-vitro fertilization or wafer positioning and mask alignment within the semiconductor industry.

The SME is now aiming for international expansion and would therefore like to find relevant partners abroad. They are looking for distributors and/or agents that have end customers in some of the following industries: life science, semiconductor and academia, for a distribution services agreement and/or a commercial agency agreement. They are also looking for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) that manufactures laboratory equipment for possible manufacturing agreement.

The distributors and/or agents they are looking for should have an existing portfolio of customers in academia, life science or semiconductor industry. The distributor or agent should be able to promote and offer the SMEs plug & play solution to industrial and academic laboratory end customers and to refer OEMs to the SME.

The manufactorers the SME is looking for should be industrial OEMs that manufactures laboratory or precision equipment and that could be interested in integrating the SMEs offered solution to their own products, adding more functions and value for their own end customers who might need to develop their microscope automation, lab set ups, production lines, etc.

Advantages & innovations

Cooperation plus value: 
The company offers a modular, plug & play, nanometer resolution motion system with unparalleled precision, load capacity and ease of use. The system is designed to provide instant access nanometer resolution motion through the following modules in combination with their developed Windows apps: - Stages lifting up to 500g at 5 mm/s providing a bidirectional repeatability of <100 nm. - Controller for 3-axes providing closed loop, PID regulated, point-to-point motion. - Joystick for 10 nm/s to 8 mm/s motion at your fingertips. The high load capacity, long travel range and high precision means predictive, stabile and high performance over centimeters of travel, enabling: - Long range high precision 1 axis image stacking and autofocus. - Precise, powerful and compact 3 or 4 axis micromanipulators. - Stabile and easy to use 6-axis stages e.g for mask alignment.
