The Application center formicro production technologyMicro technology is considered amongstthe most important technologies of today,due to ever rising demand for technologicaland mechanical micro system products.Modern machine tools are today capableof working with work pieces or on structure,that are small as 100 nanometres insize, which is equal to one-thousandth ofthe diameter of an average human hair.These small working dimensions requiresmall work tools, furthermore, environmentalinfluences have to monitored andcontrolled even more precisely than withother precision production technologies.The Application center for micro productiontechnology (AMP) is located in a 1,200 m²hall, superbly equipped for innovativeresearch and development. The departmentsof Machine Tools and Factory Management(IWF) at the Technische Universität Berlin andthe Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systemsand Design Technology (IPK) have beenworking closely together in the field of microproduction technology for several years now.This unique partnership of academic and appliedresearch in new development, offers itcompetences in fields such as biotechnology,medical technology, optical technology andmicrosystems technology.27
