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).
