PRECISION MECHANICS FOR COMPLEX HIGH-TECH SYSTEMS

Expertise in mechanics and accurate positioning for groundbreaking high-tech machines and applications.

ENGINEERING MECHANICS FOR ACCURATE AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

  • FROM PRECISION DESIGN TO SERIES PRODUCT
    Sioux develops mechanical solutions for prototypes, one-offs and series products, with a strong focus on accuracy, speed and predictable movement and positioning.

  • PRECISION MADE MANUFACTURABLE
    Our mechanical designs take materials, strength and stiffness, dynamic and thermal behaviour, magnetism and friction into account, while also considering quality and efficiency in production and service.


OUR SOLUTIONS

MECHANICAL CHALLENGES

Accuracy

Accuracy, speed and predictability

State-of-the-art high-tech equipment places enormous demands on the accuracy, speed and predictability of motion and positioning.
Mechanical Limits

Pushing mechanical limits

Accurate positioning requires understanding materials, strength and stiffness, dynamic and thermal behaviour, magnetism and friction.
Design For Manufacturing

Manufacturable integral design

Mechanical design must get the most out of a machine and its application while remaining manufacturable for quality and efficiency in production and service.
Prototypes To Series

From prototypes to series

Efficient series products require expertise in industrialisation, Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Cost.

EXPERTISE

6 DOF accurate positioning

Sioux's mechanics team specializes in accurate and fast positioning in six degrees of freedom in the sub-micrometer range.

This expertise covers products and objects ranging from less than mm3 and milligrams to more than m3 and kilograms.

  • Accurate and fast positioning

  • Six degrees of freedom

  • Sub-micrometer range

  • From very small and light to large and heavy objects

Tooling for measurement, testing and production
Mechatronics Integrated Multidisciplinary Design

Developing, building and optimizing high-tech equipment requires continuous testing and measuring.

Sioux develops and realizes advanced tooling to support design validation and production optimization.

  • Measurement tooling

  • Testing tooling

  • Design validation
