BASALT-S2 is a research instrument for a high-resolution view in tribomechanics. The Tribometer is equipped with a 400 rpm rotary drive and 10 N force sensor with resolution of 1 mN for Pin-on-Disc experiments. The measurings are high reproducible due to the low vertical and radial run-out. It enables test with samples of up to 50 mm diameter. The user software is easy and intuitve and even suitable for students. Due to its cost-benefit ratio the BASALT-S2 is the ideal system for testing tasks of friction between two counterbodies.

The Nano Positioner PPS2020 is an air bearing system for high dynamic precision positioning. With this drive technology worldwide unique resolutions up to 2.44 nm are achieved. The error compensating and very flat architecture obtains an accuracy of a path better than one micrometer. With a maximum speed of 500 mm/s and a movement range of 200 mm x 200 mm, the PPS2020 is ideal for time savings in the production of precision components. The modern EtherCAT® control architecture enables easy customized system integration. Additional accessoires like an industrial control CNC, a joystick for manually movements or a granite portal for 3D positioning (see picture above) are available for individual demands. The advantages at a glance: Position resolution: 0.0025 µm Repeatability: 0.2 µm Path accuracy: ±1µm Speed: 500 mm/s
