Virtual Special Interest Group Meeting: Precision Motion Systems & Control
17th – 18th November 2020
euspen’s Special Interest Group Meeting on Precision Motion Systems & Control was planned to be held at the Brabanthallen‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been decided to deliver this meeting as a “virtual online web-meeting”, to ensure the participants remain safely connected.
Precision motion systems and their control are key elements for precision engineering, both for manufacturing applications as well as for measuring instruments. From one-dimensional systems to complex multi-axis machines, components for linear and angular guidance, actuation, measurement and control of motion are needed for precision positioning tasks.
Increasing demands on the throughput of manufacturing systems and measuring instruments lead to the development of motion systems with higher dynamics and corresponding challenges for position control. As a consequence, the research on and the development of advanced precision motion components, systems and their control are focus areas for industry and academia.
The first euspen Special Interest Group (SIG) on Precision Motion Systems & Control meeting will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government agencies to discuss state-of-the-art practice, and key research and development in the area of precision engineering associated with Precision Motion Systems & Control. The meeting includes keynote presentations, oral sessions, posters and training seminars covering the newest developments and research.
In addition the Precision Fair, annual meeting for precision technology professionals has also changed to an online meeting. You still have the opportunity for networking and discover the latest developments in precision technology. During Precision Fair Online, you can choose from no fewer than 14 webinars from 10:00 to 16:00. You can also participate in the online Meet & Match throughout the day. Don’t forget to register for the Precision Fair online!

Meeting Keynotes
Prof. Hans Butler
ASML, Netherlands
Mechatronic challenges in optical lithography
In lithographic tools used in chip manufacturing, the imaging resolution (capability to create small features) is physically limited by the optics and the light source wavelength. In the course of time, many solutions have been pursued to push this resolution to smaller values, with significant consequences for the mechatronic designs in the machine. In immersion systems, a layer of water is contained between the projection lens and the wafer. Multiple patterning techniques create a dependency of (layer-to-layer) overlay errors with imaging performance, creating tight requirements on stage accuracy. Extreme-ultraviolet lithographic tools have to operate in vacuum, and next-generation, high-NA EUV tools will use anamorphic optics.
This talk introduces the latest solutions for making smaller features already in operation today, and also looks ahead to future systems. The mechatronic challenges and solutions associated with these techniques will be addressed.
Biography
Hans Butler obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in adaptive control at Delft University of Technology in 1986 and 1990, respectively. After joining ASML in 1991, he has developed controllers for multiple high-precision modules in lithographic tools such as handlers, illuminators, projection systems, and stages. He has led groups working on actuators, opto-mechatronics, and system dynamics. Since 2010 he is an ASML fellow with dynamics and control as his main focus area. Since 2012 he is a part-time full professor at the Control Systems group of the Electrical Engineering Faculty at the Eindhoven University of Technology, with a main focus on high-accuracy mechatronic systems.

High precision mechatronic approaches for advanced nanopositioning and nanomeasuring technologies
Today, nanopositioning and nanometrology techniques are indispensable in many areas of nanotechnology, precision and ultra-precision manufacturing. These terms are often used in connection with piezo precision stages, without which the groundbreaking development of scanning probe microscopy would not have been possible. For more and more applications, however, the demand for nanoprecision must also be met in much larger measuring and working ranges of many millimeters.
In recent years, the TU Ilmenau has succeeded in developing nanopositioning and nanomeasuring machines for ranges of 25 mm x 25 mm x 5 mm to 200 mm x 200 mm x 20 mm with a resolution of 20 pm. The enormous accuracy is only achieved by the consistent application of error-minimized measuring principles and high-precision mechatronic approaches. In contrast to conventional concepts, high-precision fabrication of optical or mechanical functional surfaces of the measuring machines is contrasted with mechatronic measurement and control concepts.
This talk presents solutions and latest progress in the development and realization of high-precision positioning and measuring machines.
Biography
Eberhard Manske received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Technische Universität Ilmenau in 1982. He obtained the Ph.D. degree in 1986, and the habilitation in 2006 in the field of precision measurement technology. Since 2008 he holds a professorship “Production and Precision Measurement Technology” at the Technische Universität Ilnmenau.
From 2008 to 2013 he was spokesman of the Collaborative Research Centre “Nanopositioning and Nanomeasuring Machines (SFB 622)” and since 2017 he leads the research training group “Tip- and laser-based 3D-Nanofabrication in extended macroscopic working areas (NanoFab)” funded by the German Research Council. His research activities focus on the development of nanopositioning and nanomeasuring machines, especially in the fields of high precision laser interferometry, laser stabilization, frequency comb technology, optical and tactile nanosensors and scanning probe techniques.
