Customized and OEM Solutions
Beyond catalog products, Märzhäuser Wetzlar designs and manufactures custom and OEM micro-positioning systems — tailor-made stages, mechanics, controllers and software built to a partner's specification and integrated into their own instruments. As a worldwide market leader in OEM microscope stages, Märzhäuser develops these systems in close cooperation with microscope manufacturers, universities and research institutes. Clemex can help you scope a custom or OEM positioning solution engineered for your application.
Engineered to your specification
When an off-the-shelf part will not do, complex requirements can be turned into a custom micro-positioning solution engineered to fit a specific application and system environment. Development, engineering, in-house production, controllers and software (APIs, DLLs, LabVIEW integration, firmware) are all handled in-house in Germany.
Precision and longevity are built in through high-precision cross-roller bearings, tight manufacturing tolerances and long-term lubrication, with quality management certified to DIN ISO 9001:2015 and automated testing in air-conditioned measuring rooms. Even standard stages can be tailored — for example with custom stage inserts or a piezo Z system.
