Præcisionsanordninger

Præcisionsanordninger is a Danish term used in engineering to denote devices or assemblies engineered to achieve high positional or measurement precision. The word combines præcision (precision) and anordning (device or arrangement). In technical usage it encompasses mechanical, optical, and electronic systems designed to minimize errors and ensure repeatable results.

Typical constituents include mechanical stages with low-friction guides and precision screws, optical platforms with micrometer-driven adjustments, and sensor-actuator systems that use feedback to stabilize position, such as piezoelectric actuators with capacitive sensors or closed-loop servo assemblies. Many designs emphasize kinematic mounting to avoid overconstraint and to preserve repeatability across cycles.

Key performance factors are accuracy, resolution, repeatability, stiffness, and thermal stability. Design considerations include tolerance analysis, backlash mitigation, minimizing thermal expansion through material choice, and robust calibration procedures to maintain traceability to standards.

Applications span metrology and measurement instrumentation, semiconductor fabrication and inspection, laser optics, CNC machining and robotics, aerospace testing, and laboratory research where precise positioning or measurement is required.

Note: the term is primarily used in Danish-language sources. In English-language engineering literature, related concepts are typically described as precision devices or precision positioning systems.
