Industry demand has been a strong driver for our innovations, for example, our non-magnetic ceramic linear bearings for applications in electron microscopy and the PMMR micro roller slides for use in high-speed component placement.
Other applications for the semiconductor industry such as lithography, surface inspection, bonding and probe testing benefit from PM high precision products such as our RSDE type linear bearings and custom-designed positioning systems.
Within the science and technology industry, PM is an established supplier of integrated solutions to the non-destructive testing market. Operators in today’s structure and element analysis industry rely on our multi-axis motion systems with high repeatability to achieve highly accurate measurements. PM has been a trusted supplier for decades of cutting-edge positioning systems, sample stages, handling robots and sample holders for use in Tomography and XRD/XRF imaging, Raman spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. We also design and produce miniaturised positioning solutions for desktop systems to customer specification.
PM's precision linear bearings and frictionless linear slides are used as machine components in the production of precision optical lenses. These high-end lenses are found in applications requiring a high level of precision, such as microscopy (including surgical vision systems) and semiconductor manufacturing.
We also supply high-tech producers of zooming and focusing systems operating in the smallest assembly spaces. Our team of highly skilled engineers is able to design custom solutions for the integration of linear bearings, drives and sensors in positioning systems – from single prototype to high volume serial production.
