To be able to write precisely, 4PICO needs a motion platform that works really smoothly, with an accuracy better than 15 nanometer. Jan Aarts, Design Engineer 4PICO: “We use Dovetail air slides of IBS, in combination with a high accuracy encoder and a linear motor. These air slides combine an accurate guidance with friction free and wear free movement ready-fit for installation.” The use of these ultra-precision components can add a significant competitive advantage.
