Customized ceramic solutions from Schunk

Ceramic Metrology Components

Schunk offers a comprehensive range of high-performance metrology components for coordinate measuring machines, such as quills, traverses or X-slides. In addition to the molding variant of slip casting, which ensures economical production of high volumes, the innovative manufacturing process of 3D printing is also available. The material IntrinSiC® (3D-printed RBSiC) allows a high degree of design freedom.

Ceramic frame components for machines in the semiconductor industry

Due to their excellent material properties, technical ceramics are used in the semiconductor industry. Schunk offers customized solutions for wafer tables and frame components. Monolithic components up to 1.8 x 1.0 x 0.7m are possible due to the material IntrinSiC® (3D-printed RBSiC).
