ETEL designs and produces standard modules, custom platforms, and kinematic motion controllers engineered for extreme dynamic acceleration and nanometer-scale precision:

Motion Systems & Kinematic Architectures: Multi-axis Cartesian stacked systems, high-speed gantry platforms, planar platforms (XY), and combined modules offering up to 4 degrees of freedom (linear-rotary Z3TM series).
Short-Stroke Actuators: High-throughput voice coil and linear actuators (AQUARIUS and AQUARIUS ST series) for test-and-scan turret mechanisms and vertical pick-and-place motions.
Direct Drive Linear Motors: Over 40 standard linear motor models across ironcore (LMG, LMS) and ironless (ILF+, ILM+) designs delivering continuous forces up to 689 N, peak forces up to 3,630 N, and speeds up to 15 m/s.
Direct Drive Torque Motors: Over 170 brushless torque motor configurations (TMB+, TMC, TMKi, TML, TMM) characterized by ultra-low cogging torque and high thermal efficiency.
Motion Control & Trajectory Planning: UltimET and AccurET motion controllers featuring Interpolated Motion Planning (IMP) software libraries with kinematic constraints (velocity, acceleration, and jerk limits) and real-time sub-Newton force control.
Vibration Isolation: QUIET active isolation systems neutralizing external shop-floor vibrations and cancelling kinematic reaction forces.
