The Basque company Unimetrik participates in the key for the manufacturing chain of components at scales micro and nano: the NanoCMM project.
This project, with a dimension of more than 10 million euros, reaffirms the work that the metrological group Innovalia Metrology, pioneer in the field at the national level, it has been doing for years in the sector. Over the 4 years that the project will be developed, it is intended to strengthen the commitment of the Basque country in matters of technological innovation.
In addition, the project has the collaboration of machine manufacturers three-dimensional such as IBS, SIOS and Trimek, with the ability to develop this type of measurement systems; with the main manufacturers of components (Mahr GmbH, Datapixel and Nascatec) and the leading technological centres of Spain, Germany and Denmark (the Innovalia Association, and the Technical University of Denmark, among others).
The NanoCMM project will culminate in developing 3 capable of measuring accurately nanoscale three-dimensional machines. The results of this large-scale project, depends on the development and evolution not only the sensors and the machinery of the future but also of the industrial application of nanotechnologies to sectors as diverse and common as domotics (appliances), the médico-dental sector (dental implants) or the computer.
The NanoCMM project is an innovative concept developed by and for the industry, and which is intended to not only overcome the barriers in capacity measurement but mainly do so accurately in spaces where never before reached to measure: on the 3 axes of the space. The NanoCMM will make it possible to establish a more reliable metrological system, making room for more rapid and flexible three-dimensional machines to ensure the viability of industrial production at small scales.
