Newton, NJ – November 10, 2015 – Thorlabs announced today that it has added to its motion control capabilities through the acquisition of the “Elliptec” assets of Pantec GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pantec Engineering AG. Located in Dortmund, Germany, Pantec GmbH designs and manufactures high‐precision piezoelectric motors and actuators under the product name Elliptec.
The technology is employed in a multitude of applications but is particularly well suited to those requiring compact, quiet, energy‐efficient motors. The Pantec GmbH team in Dortmund will continue to operate from its current geographical location with its current employees. They will work closely with Thorlabs’ existing motion control engineering and manufacturing teams in Ely, Cambridgeshire UK to collaborate on new product development with future manufacturing based in both facilities.
“We are excited to combine the unique advantages of the Elliptec motor technology with Thorlabs’ extensive experience in harnessing diverse drive technologies to develop complete motion control solutions,” said Keith Dhese, General Manager of Thorlabs’ UK operation. “The resulting products will not only benefit our existing photonics customers but also enable a wide range of potential OEM applications.”
