The AAU wishes to purchase a combined machine in view of crucial research conditions. This includes, inter alia: Standard solution is to buy two machines and hire an integrator to create a system where the machines talk …
together. This is fine for big scale electronics manufacturing where the procedures are standardized and the two machines are a part of a big production line. AAU want to use it in a research context where simplicity of programming trumps throughput. Having a single machine allows AAU to make comple
x assemblies because the sample does not need to go back and forth between different machines. AAU can integrate all or most processes in one machine which means there is no need to realign the sample or move it out from protective atmosphe
