Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has invested more than 1000 ten thousand euros at its German headquarters to establish a micro-mechatronics production center. In the future, sensors developed for the semiconductor and aerospace industries will be produced at the production center, significantly increasing its output in the semiconductor industry in the coming years. The new center is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2021.

Micro-Epsilon headquarters is currently constructing a micro-mechatronics production center. The new building provides optimal conditions for the strict production and quality requirements of the semiconductor and aerospace industries. Products manufactured at the plant include sensors for current and future semiconductor lithography equipment, as well as sensors for various measurement tasks on aircraft.

A special focus of the building is its cleanroom and environmental functions. In addition to high cleanliness requirements, specific humidity and temperature values must be maintained during production and assembly. To keep these environmental conditions constant, an advanced building monitoring system has been implemented that continuously monitors and adjusts air quality and particle levels to ensure they are kept within precise ranges.

Micro-Epsilon CEO Dr. Thomas Wisspeintner explained: "The new production area increases our production capacity, enabling us to manufacture products of the highest quality and precision, which is essential for technological advancements in solutions for demanding measurement tasks." He also regards the new building for specialized sensor technology as an important milestone for the sustainable maintenance and expansion of the company's business development. "The new production center clearly demonstrates our intent, showing that the company will continue its growth strategy even in difficult times."
