Nanotech opens Ultra-Precision Machining Process Development Center in North Carolina

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 -- Moore Nanotechnology Systems (Nanotech), an ultra-precision machining systems supplier has announced the opening of its Ultra-Precision Machining Process Development Center in Concord, North Carolina.

According to a statement, the 3,500 ft² facility will employ Nanotech’s newest technology advancements, including next generation diamond-turning equipment, state of the art metrology and analysis tools, and hardware process-development activities.

The purpose of having the facility near the UNC Charlotte campus is to form a more collaborative relationship with Matt Davies in diamond-turning research and Chris Evans with precision metrology.

UNC Charlotte is recognised globally for its Center for Precision Metrology, and via the work led by Davies, their diamond-turning expertise is ranked amongst the best in the nation.

Nanotech President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Boomgarden said: “Working closely with a US-based university like UNC Charlotte, that has expertise in both ultra-precision machining and metrology, provides a great opportunity for Nanotech to collaborate and advance our product and technology offerings.”

“Based on our research and experience manufacturing freeform optics, Nanotech is a global leader in the design, development and deployment of diamond-turning equipment,” said Davies, who currently serves as UNC Charlotte Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Professor.

He said having the Process Development Center closer to campus will make future collaboration that much easier.
