Machine Tools and Instrumentation for Manufacture, Assembly, Test
and Inspection:
As
structures become ever smaller, the necessity for on-line
quality assurance test systems for certification duties becomes
more important and demanding. In the future, the nanometer scale
will be the precision standard for material analysis, control
purposes and also for material treatment. Already nano-analytical
methods are used routinely for testing in the manufacture of
magnetic storage disks, electronic multilayer systems, and
industrial polishing processes.
