Designed, built, and tested a nanometer precision wear tester, or tribometer, for our client, ASML.

Precise engineering design and manufacturing work was needed to ensure wear measurements could be accurately performed on the nanometer scale. Creating precise flat on flat contact while minimizing vibration noise were the two largest factors in the design and manufacturing of the system.

System integration, programming, and data collection was done with a custom LabVIEW VI.
