Our clients face performance challenges in existing products, or challenges that stem from ambitious technical roadmaps. We combines advanced mechatronic expertise with a strong focus on system dynamics and control engineering, precision mechanics and seamless system integration. Turning complex ideas into reliable, high-performance solutions. Performance, cost-efficiency and time-to-market remain central in everything we deliver.
Full-spectrum advanced mechatronics development across industries
We specialise in advanced mechatronic system design and development across the semiconductor, photonics, agri, industrial equipment and automation sectors. Our strength lies in uniting mechanical design, precision engineering and mechatronic integration into systems that achieve exceptional accuracy, throughput and robustness.
Our in-house competences span systems engineering, mechanical design, precision engineering, system dynamics and control, electronics design, vision, artificial intelligence and deep learning, and embedded software. This multidisciplinary foundation enables us to design, integrate, commission and improve complex machines efficiently.
From model-based control and feedforward optimisation to dynamic compensation, high-bandwidth motion control and targeted mechanical redesign, we help customers push their system performance to the next level.
Seamless cooperation between mechanics and control
High-performance systems emerge when mechanical design, dynamics and control, and systems engineering evolve together. We work as one integrated team, ensuring that structural dynamics, actuation selection, sensing concepts and control architecture reinforce each other rather than compete.
This co-development approach reduces iteration cycles, improves predictability and results in machines that are inherently stable, precise and easier to scale towards production, supported by our Design House+ proposition.

Assets that power our advanced mechatronics expertise
Nobleo Design Core
Within Nobleo the multidisciplinary design typical for mechatronics, is supported by our in house developed software tool chain in combination with our hands-on attitude. Enabling our engineers of different competence backgrounds to collaborate easy and efficiently on design and analyses , backed-up with fast experimental validation. All together ensuring convergence on optimal design solutions.
Design House+
We are not only providing our customers a design with corresponding Technical Product Documentation (TPD). We support our customers from end-to-end.
Being more than only a design house, we fulfil this support by setting up a tailored supply chain at jointly selected volume suppliers, handle NPI supervision and support on behalf of our customer. In the end wrapped up with turnkey industrialization and in-place Life Cycle Management (LCM).
All of the above in close cooperation with and full transparency towards our customer, safeguarding Nobleo’s full independence of potentially selected suppliers to serve our customers with the best tailored supply chain solution.

Mirror control module
Nobleo developed a mechatronic module consisting of multiple actively controlled mirrors, used for laser beam control. Challenge at the table was reaching robust beam control with sub micron accuracy, despite several sources of high frequency vibration disturbance. Project started at first requirements, remaining involved up to turn-key industrialized module at selected 3rd party.
Wafer transport system
We designed and developed a wafer handling system. Ensuring robust and accurate wafer handling at significant throughput rates. Besides common actuation and sensing technologies used to support the motion control, vision systems were used for qualification of results. Module was to used in ISO7 clean environment. NPI was managed and taken care of on-site at customer selected volume supplier located in the South-East Asia area.
Vegetable weighing and conveying system
Nobleo designed and developed a cost efficient prototype able to robustly handle a type of vegetable with a wide range of shapes, weights, and Center of Gravity at high throughput rates.
Die tray handling system
We designed and developed a mechatronic system to allow for an EFEM to place multiple trays at a buffer station, from where these trays were back and forth displaced to pick position. The latter in a manner where motion control, proper mechanical design and knowledge on use of both pneumatics and servo actuation plus sensing resulted in meeting the strict requirements on accuracy and precision. Supply Chain and NPI was managed and taken care of on-site at customer selected volume supplier located in the South-East Asia area.
Improved Shuttle system
Handled in a 3-month period, addressed the design & realization plus qualification of a Functional Model of an improved performance shuttle. Shuttle was able to do 90degrees cornering with 4-wheel-drive combined with high speeds and acceleration. Project success was based on our know-how of mechanics, motion control and software combined with our entrepreunrial spirit and agile supply chain management. Functional Model result properly addressed feasibility question.
