”Electronic components simplify our lives. Both in the workplace and part of our daily routine, whether in computers and mobile telephones or in household, entertainment or automobile technology. They are indispensable in innovations relating to all areas of modern technology”. This is how the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research describes the role of microelectronics within their policy document from 24.06.2014. The Federal Government has recognised the meaning of this research arena for a long time and even considers this one of the central key technologies of modern industrial society. In the future research into micro and nano electronics will be even more strongly supported at the national and European level. The Federal Ministry for Education and Research will, within the framework of the development programme IKT 2020 Innovations, strengthen the dominant technological position of Germany in electronics in order to secure a competitive position and increase the attractiveness of Germany as a location for business.

The commercial application areas of automobile, medicine, logistics, energy and machine building will thereby be significantly promoted in order to reach quality goals such as efficiency, security, user friendliness and resource efficiency. In the foreground of this support will be the smooth link between technologies and application fields with the aim of implementing research results as quickly as possible with economic success.

The challenges and time-consuming nature of any new development is however only truly understood by technicians. Hidden from view beneath the product surface of all highly complicated electronic systems is the pressure to develop at an acceptable price, manufacture and bring onto the market an utterly reliable as well as energy efficient product. Vastly increased performance capabilities and constant miniaturisation have characterised the past decades of developments in electronics.

DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO. is known for their continued product optimisation and for introducing new developments for the assembly of miniaturised components. The specialists in screwdriving technology lead the market with an innovative screwdriver for tiny assemblies - the NANOMAT low-torque screwdriver. This small screwdriver reaches highly accurate, extremely low torques from 8 Nmm to 300 Nmm at speeds of up to 2000 1/min – and that in four different speed ranges. Therefore the DEPRAG NANOMAT is a screwdriver with one of the smallest torques on the market.

DEPRAG Sales Manager Jürgen Hierold describes some application examples of the low-torque screwdriver: ”The NANOMAT can be used in medical technology for reliable processing of hearing aids or pacemakers. These screwdrivers also have wide ranging application in the watch industry or precision engineering for the manufacture of measurement devices”.
