We’re thrilled to share a recap of our incredible experience at Micronora 2024, where we showcased our latest innovations, especially in Smart Microtechnology. The event, taking place in September 24-27 in Besancon, provided a valuable platform to present our cutting-edge solutions and engaged with a diverse range of attendees, including research institutes and other industry leaders. It was a rewarding opportunity to foster meaningful conversations and explore exciting new possibilities for collaboration and innovation.
At Micronora 2024, we proudly displayed cutting-edge technologies in both our stand and our Zoom session, aligning with the event’s theme of Smart Microtechnology. We engaged visitors with live demonstrations and interactive experiences, showcasing the power of our technologies to revolutionize industries.
Booth Exhibition: We featured a range of our high-precision machines, highlighting their stability and precision.
Description: Our cobotic platform is an operator-driven robotic system that is simply adaptable for various processes. This platform is perfect for initiating automatic solution, feasibility study and small volume production.
Highlights: Operator-driven, Programmable, Highly flexible and Fully customizable
Description: Our automatic machines are custom-built robotic micro manipulation systems providing industrial performance and process control, and are dedicated to large volume production. These machines are equipped with advanced and modular technical solutions including structure, mechanics, robotics, image analysis and control software.
In Micronora, we presented an automatic machine equipped with our Pitweezgripper and Tulipgripper for a precise positionnement demo. The machine included also a Tulipgripper mounted on a Meca500, from our partner mecademic, for performing an active mirror alignment for photonics purposes. A special thanks to Mecademic who played a key role in this demonstration. This exhibition showcased the seamless integration of automation and precision, underlining our strong partnership with Mecademic in advancing industrial technology.
Highlights: Large volume production, Productivity, Accuracy, Modularity and Versatility
Description: The adhesive Gecomer microgripper is a bio-inspired adhesive gripping for scratch-free and residue-free handling of smallest sensitive parts. This gripper with adaptive adhesive force suits perfectly for vacuum and cleanroom environment. A special thanks to our partner Innocise GmbH who joined us at the event to demonstrate the capabilities of GmbH’s technologies, highlighting our shared commitment to innovation and excellence.
Highlights: Scratch-free handling, residue-free, adjustable adhesive force and high lifecycle
Zoom Experience: We created an immersive experience where attendees could explore our latest innovations in smart microtechnology.
Description: Our virtual system is a configurable virtual machine that is operable with dedicated vision and robotics software. This virtual machine is perfect for the process study and training purposes.
Highlights: Virtual machine, programmable, model-adaptable and collision simulation
Description: Our digital twin is the virtual representation of the desired robotic machine that is aimed at monitoring machine status in details. This virtual machine is perfect for replaying robotics movement for debugging and improvement purposes.
Highlights: Real-time, Adaptable, Dedicated user interface and High-level machine interaction
Description: Experience our innovative grippers and our cutting-edge industrial machines using our specially designed tablet program providing highly detailed view, life-like 3D representations as if they were right in front of you. This interactive virtual experience allows you to explore and understand our offerings in a dynamic and engaging way.
Highlights: 3D model, Realistic, Interactive and High-quality
One of the main highlights was the introduction of the Tulipgripper, our latest innovation in microtechnology. The Tulipgripper is known for its robustness, versatility and changeable end effectors that makes it perfect for high-speed and miscellaneous grasping operations. It has been qualified for the grasping of products from 50 µm in size. This gripper is currently integrated into our cobotic platforms and automatic machines, including those showcased in our exhibitions at Micronora. Officially releasing to the market in 2025, Tulip gripper will be available as a standalone product, enabling you to directly incorporate it into your own systems. This advancement reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, versatile solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
A standout moment at the event was winning the Micron d’or for our groundbreaking work in intelligent systems and software. This recognition not only highlights our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation but also sets the stage for future advancements.
Our booth and Zoom session attracted widespread attention from the media, including TV shows, radio, and prominent news outlets. We conducted numerous interviews, sharing insights into our technology and vision for the future. You can find all the media coverage through the links below:
We are proud to have generated so much interest and appreciate the opportunity to discuss our innovations with a wider audience.
In addition to our exhibitions, we delivered several pitches at the event. We had also the honor to present our developments and innovations for European and also international delegates. These pitches and presentations provided us with valuable exposure and opened the door to new collaborations and partnerships.
We were excited to participate in Micro Nano event Organized by EEN and CCI Bourgogne France-Comté, a B2B matchmaking and networking opportunity during the event. This platform enabled us to present our expertise, services, and innovations directly to business partners and research laboratories. The connections we made were invaluable, and we are currently exploring several promising collaborations as a result.
Looking forward, we are eager to continue building on the momentum from Micronora. We will maintain our focus on innovation, collaboration, and expanding our impact in the smart microtechnology industry.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates, including the upcoming launch of Tulip Gripper as a standalone product in the market next year!
Whether you visited our booth or participated in Micro Nano event by EEN, we encourage you to continue the conversation! Reach out to us for more details on our products or to explore potential collaborations in research or industry. Let’s shape the future of smart microtechnology together.
