IMMS Institut für Mikroelektronik- und Mechatronik-Systeme gemeinnützige GmbH
We are R&D partner for application developments of companies, e.g. for medical technology,
and mentor for students.
Our goal is the market success of our partners
We take care of whole systems integration from the idea to series production
like here for the SONAPHONE, an ultrasonic testing device for maintenance 4.0.
We connect science and industry
We transfer results from basic research into high-performance applications
such as nanometre-precise 6D direct drives for microelectronics manufacturing and precision metrology.
We connect the digital to the analogue world
We create innovative industrial solutions for intelligent sensor and measurement systems
with the help of AI-based design and test methods for highly complex chips and printed circuit boards, for example.
