IBS Precision Engineering has a distinguished track record of proven and robust precision solutions. Leading edge metrology (measurement expertise) is at the core of all we do. For that reason, we find it important to be active in leading research programmes, contribute to standardisation bodies and work with outstanding partners. Our extensive technological and scientific network enables us to bring the right knowledge and people to the table.Building the highest precision means working with partners who understand exactly what you need. That is why we work with New Way when porous media air bearings are the solution and with Lion Precision for outstanding capacitive and inductive sensors. Siemens is a valued partner for our machine tool products. Read more on our partnerships:IBS Precision Engineering design and manufacture the most precise measurement systems, machines and modules. New Way offer a unique product line of outstanding air bearings. That is why we use them in our own systems and guide our customers where they can apply them in theirs.IBS Precision Engineering founder Henny Spaan became excited about the added value of porous air bearings in precision engineering applications. Air bearings have proven their performance in coordinate measuring machines, precision machine tools, semiconductor wafer processing machines, and other clean room, high speed, and precision positioning environments. For roll2roll manufacture, they also offer a clean, contactless and extremely stable transport solution.In 1995, the Precision Engineering group of the TU Eindhoven brought Lion Precision and IBS together for their first successful precision engineering project. It immediately became clear that both companies shared a passion for ultra-high precision engineering in general and spindle measuring technologies in particular.Becoming the market leader in the Disk Drive industry for spindle run-out measurement. This measurement is critical to achieving ever smaller disk writing densities.IBS Precision Engineering we supply Lion sensors in Europe and guide customers on their application and integration. We also design and deliver made to order solutions based on Lion sensor technology for advanced applications.IBS Precision Engineering is proud to be a Siemens Product Partner with regard to their 5-axis machine tool qualification tool, the IBS Rotary Inspector. The Siemens Product Partner programme identifies leading companies with recognized expertise in specific fields complementary to Siemens solutions. With the Rotary Inspector, IBS is a product partner to the SINUMERIK product portfolio – where Siemens offers a range of leading CNC controls solutions including premium machine concepts.At IBS we believe in excellence in precision engineering. Through the membership organisations below we both teach and learn, in addition to forming lifelong collaborations and friendships.VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) represents more than 3,100, mostly medium-sized, companies in the capital goods industry, making it the largest industry association in Europe. Supporting the industry in shaping the future is the core of their philosophy.ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 165 national standards bodies. Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.IBS is active in multiple standards committees and proud that our colleague Dr. Ir. Guido Florussen, Senior Metrology Specialist, is the chairman of committee ISO / TC 39 / SC 2: Test conditions for metal cutting tools. This chairmanship will last until end 2022. Florussen: “We have been an expert in machine accuracy for years. Being a member of a standards committee in our field fits in perfectly with what we are: instrument builders with a scientific background.”
