METIS HP
For step-and-scan applications, METIS HP full air bearing stage, ensures High speed stability with high straightness.
Step-and-scan applications such as direct laser writing demand ever-increasing accuracy and throughput. Thanks to its exceptional speed stability and dynamic straightness, METIS HP is the ideal solution for high‑end tools, supporting panel sizes up to 600 × 600 mm.
Laser and optical processes require a highly precise Position Event Generator (PEG). METIS HP integrates a unique Heidenhain advanced multi‑DoF encoder, enabling accurate measurement of the tool‑point projection and allowing it to function directly as a Position Event Generator.
Key benefits include:
• Elimination of costly and complex traditional laser interferometer integration
• Guaranteed high precision and repeatability, free from thermal drift effects
High-end inspection application for advance packaging requires ability to adjust the focal distance at high frequency. With our high-bandwidth 4 DoF module, providing fine control over Z-axis, tip, tilt, and theta, METIS HP is the optimal platform for these demanding inspection tasks.
