Internship: Sub-micron positioning for Analytical market

Sub-micron positioning (using Piezo technology) for Analytical market

- Derival of system requirements by

- Stakeholder interviewing - (new) customer portfolio analysis - Investigation on upcoming trends and future requirements - ….. - Literature / market study

- Available technologies in the market

- Actuation - Measurement methods - Maturity of the technology - Cost and complexity of the technology and implementation. - Supplier dependency / lock-in - …. - System concepts using different technologies (with sufficient depth)

- Full stroke piezo - Longstroke / Short stroke - Hybrid - Measurement concept - Integration with Frencken Motion and Control platform

- Feasibility - Definition of requirements in case of gap. - In depth-technology investigation.

- How complex is the technology to produce?

- Low complex, high OEM cost à Add piezo to our motor development competence? (could be a high margin opportunity for Frencken) - High complex, low OEM cost à Buy off the shelf? - In between? - Business decision investigation

- Buy OEM products and integrate - Partner up with specialist - Something else.

End goal:

- Thorough technology and market overview - Most potential system concept taken all requirements and boundary conditions into account. - In-depth understanding of technology and production methods - Consolidated business decision / recognition of high-margin opportunities for Frencken. - Test plan concept / plan for next phase (next student).
