We design and fabricate highly sensitive MEMS (micro-electro mechanical system) tools for sub micronewton micro force sensing and micro- and nanoscale object handling with force feedback.

Our sensors are the only sensors that are calibrated for the micro and nanodomain. Due to their capacitive measurment principle, they do not suffer from drift or temperature dependencies as for instance piezo resistive sensors.

Our customers achieve accurate measurments without the need of tedious and error-prone calibration procedures. Our easy-to-use force sensors require only a 5V DC supply and return a 0-5V analog signal proportional to the applied force, both tensile and compressive. Our micro force sensors and microgrippers can be interfaced easily with a regular PC through the USB port and our Data Acquisition System featuring software for visualization, post-processing and export of the acquired data, as well as control of the devices.

Our tools can be easily integrated into complex microrobotic systems by mounting them on micro and nanopositioning systems. Hence, complex force controlled micro- and nanomanipulation tasks are possible, such as fibre pulling, material characterization, cell handling, etc.

Our products have been applied succesfully in a wide range of applications, from biological research, micro- and nanorobotics, material science, to microsystems development.
