Mikroniek April 2026: Developments in Dynamics

The April issue of Mikroniek presents developments in dynamics. The main theme article introduces a bouncing stage concept that can circumvent actuator-force limits in precision positioning.

Other theme features are concerned with the analysis of the shock resistance of medical devices, the design of next-generation gas foil bearings, and a novel passive damping concept for improving the system dynamics of a lithography metrology tool. Also included are an exposition of the relevance of intellectual property for engineers, and a report of the VCCN Cleanliness Day 2026. Click here for a first impression.

DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium 2026

The seventh edition of the DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium will take place on 8 October 2026. This year’s theme is ‘The opto-mechatronics of telescopes: from tiny to extremely large’.

DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
