Areas of application

Compact solutions for big challenges

  • e.g. automated workpiece clamping

    which must be compact and efficient enough to allow battery operation or power supply via a BUS system

     e.g. ultra-compact workpiece grippers

    For use in confined assembly spaces, with precise force control and low inertia – robust and lightweight to optimise the available payload for robotic handlingtasks

  • e.g. door locks

    For aircraft cabin doors requiring high levels of robustness, wide operating temperature ranges and exceptional reliability

    e.g. valve controls

    For the actuation of control valves that require high positioning accuracy despite high force requirements and strong vibrations – while reliably assuming a safe state in the event of a fault

  • e.g. riveting

    Monitor the specification compliance of the riveting process while the rivet is being set. Without additional sensors – for  continuous process control.

    e.g. status monitoring

    Gain insight into the condition of your system and acquire valuable information to plan service intervals more efficiently.

  • e.g. for production and manufacturing

    when working overhead or handling heavy and bulky objects

    e.g. prosthetics

    Bionic hand prostheses that require sensory capabilities to approximate the movement and gripping action of a human hand as closely as possible

  • Highly compact electrification in automation technology

    e.g. automated workpiece clamping

    which must be compact and efficient enough to allow battery operation or power supply via a BUS system

     e.g. ultra-compact workpiece grippers

    For use in confined assembly spaces, with precise force control and low inertia – robust and lightweight to optimise the available payload for robotic handlingtasks

  • Actuators for special ambient conditions

    e.g. door locks

    For aircraft cabin doors requiring high levels of robustness, wide operating temperature ranges and exceptional reliability

    e.g. valve controls

    For the actuation of control valves that require high positioning accuracy despite high force requirements and strong vibrations – while reliably assuming a safe state in the event of a fault

Innovations at MetisMotion

Together we turn your visions into reality

Disruptive technology

naXture is based on a bio-inspired actuator concept with highly integrated microhydraulic circuits. This allows the advantages of conventional technologies to be combined with future requirements for efficiency, performance, robustness and miniaturisation.

Modular engineering

The modular design of our actuator systems allows them to be adapted to individual environments and performance requirements. Whether as pure replacement for fluidic actuators, in a sensitive closed loop system or as an IIOT device, as a source of force or speed, single-acting or double-acting – the combinations are as diverse as
their areas of application.

InnovationLab

In our competence centre, we combine decades of technological know-how with implementation expertise. Here, ideas mature in a creative environment – always with the aim of designing new concepts that can be quickly implemented and used in industry and that inspire their users.
