01
Custom machine building
Individual machines for applications you cannot buy off the shelf. Designed modular, so they grow with your requirements.
// esp SOLUTIONS
Where others see a problem, SIGI sees a specification.
We translate "that cannot be done" into a machine that does it anyway. From the first analysis to the turnkey system.
SIGI
The Smart One
Your problem. Our specification.We think before we build.Vision systems that really see.±1 µm is an ordinary day here.SIGI loves a challenge.
Most of our projects start with a sentence like "all we really need is ..." and end with a system that does, micrometre by micrometre, exactly what seemed impossible at the outset. SIGI is the part of esp that turns requirements into concepts, and concepts into working systems.
// Areas of expertise
What SIGI solves for you
02
Process development
We get processes running before they go into series: optics, sensing, medical technology, anywhere repeatability decides between yield and scrap.
03
Vision systems
Inline inspection and AI-assisted image processing that finds the defects a human eye would have missed long ago.
04
Automation
Special automation, robotics and machine controls that still run as precisely on cycle 10,000 as they did on the first.
05
Software
In-house developments for everyday work, plus tailor-made control and traceability solutions.
06
Technical analysis
MSA, FMEA, FEA, tolerance analysis and risk assessment: the work nobody sees, which decides whether a machine delivers what it promises.

Custom machines
Large-area microstructure replication with micrometre precision
A machine that replicates a 200 × 250 mm² unit cell across areas up to 1740 × 1300 mm², measuring every process parameter instead of guessing at it.
- Substrate size
- up to 1740 × 1300 mm²
- Positioning accuracy
- < ±5 µm
- Angular accuracy
- ±5 arcsec
Custom machines
DUV optics alignment and metrology on an enclosed beam path
Four test benches that align optical lithography modules themselves, measure against that alignment, and log every value they used to do it.
- Test benches
- 4 (2× 193 nm, 2× 257 nm)
- Measurements per module
- 6 to 7
- Positioning accuracy, table
- ≤ 5″ (target 3″)
// All three divisions
Three heads. One solution.
SIGI works out the solution, PAULI builds it, EDI explains it to you. You can come in through any of them.
