SmarAct Group develops high-precision positioning, motion control, metrology and automation technologies for applications where nanometre-scale movement and measurement are required. Founded in Oldenburg, Germany, in 2005, the company serves research and industrial users working in increasingly compact, fast and connected production and experimental environments.
Its positioning portfolio includes SMARFLEX nanopositioning scanner stages, SMARSLIDE stick-slip piezo stages, SMARSHIFT electromagnetic direct-drive positioners, and SMARBOTIC positioning systems and robots. These products support controlled translation, alignment and manipulation tasks in optical setups, microassembly equipment, semiconductor tools and laboratory instrumentation.
For displacement measurement and motion feedback, SmarAct supplies METIRIO optical encoder readheads and PICOSCALE interferometers. The company also provides automation stations and microassembly production platforms, allowing OEMs and system integrators to incorporate precision motion and metrology into tailored equipment.
SmarAct works with universities and scientific laboratories alongside component manufacturers, automation engineers and precision-production companies. Its technologies are applied across semiconductor manufacturing, photonics, life sciences, materials science, nanotechnology and high-energy research, supporting development, measurement and manufacturing processes that depend on reliable high-resolution positioning.
