"As the Silicon Valley in California and the West Coast continue to be the hub of the semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S., HEIDENHAIN has expanded its motion systems support by establishing an ETEL facility in Fremont, CA," said a company spokesperson. This new office will provide product, service and support of its ETEL motion systems designed specifically for that industry and others.
The Fremont office is an expansion of HEIDENHAIN's San Jose, CA, office and provides warehouse space to keep multiple ETEL motion systems on site. Currently on display is an ETEL VULCANO stacked platform motion system, the METIS planar platform and a demo bench showing ETEL single-axis solutions all operating using ETEL's AccurET controls.
A cleanroom has been built at this ETEL facility to simulate the expected working environment of its operation, and multiple service engineers are on hand to provide real-time support. A conference room space has also been established as a meeting area for visitors.
"The opening of this facility in 2018 has allowed HEIDENHAIN to meet the needs of the high-tech and fast-paced nature of Silicon Valley that often demands immediate response and is yet another example or HEIDENHAIN's Customer First initiative," said Daniel Wiseman, HEIDENHAIN Motion System Sales Engineer. "Area customers of all kinds can now walk in and see motion systems in person. Plus, we can now provide on-site troubleshooting more easily when required."
ETEL S.A. is based in Switzerland with exclusive North American distribution through HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in Schaumburg, IL, and San Jose, CA. As an international supplier of direct drives, motion control and integrated platforms, ETEL supports high tech industry with linear motors, torque motors, positioning stages and multi-axis motion controllers/systems.
