Manufacturing
SCHNEEBERGER products enable fast, high-precision and robust positioning of workpieces or laser optics, and are ideally designed for demanding applications such as laser drilling, cutting, turning, milling, or engraving.
Solutions for Photonic Applications with Repeatable Precision for Exact and Stable Processes

Photonics is a subfield of optics that deals with the generation, detection, and targeted manipulation of light. This includes, among others, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, amplification, and sensory applications.
As pioneers in the field of motion control, SCHNEEBERGER offers optimal solutions for this area of application.
From optical measurement and testing technology in the semiconductor industry, to high-precision surgical systems in medical technology, and demanding machining systems: SCHNEEBERGER supports all of these with solutions that make processes smoother, more stable, and more efficient overall.
As a global, financially and technologically solid family-owned company, we — together with our highly motivated employees — make a significant and sustainable contribution to the success of our customers. Our high-quality, high-precision products and our reliable delivery play a key role in the successful development, production, and sales of products in this future-oriented market.




SCHNEEBERGER products enable fast, high-precision and robust positioning of workpieces or laser optics, and are ideally designed for demanding applications such as laser drilling, cutting, turning, milling, or engraving.
In medical photonics, precise and reliable guideways ensure stable and safe motion sequences. Whether in diagnostics, surgery, laser therapy, or measurement technology, they ensure reliable results in sensitive applications.
The robust, simple design of the SCHNEEBERGER cage control, consists of only a few components and meets all requirements in terms of productivity and cost-effectiveness. It reliably prevents cage creep during frequent strokes, enabling smooth operation and long service life.
SCHNEEBERGER is known for its highest level of precision and develops and distributes products that are perfectly suited for this industrial segment. These are flexible in design, especially in situations where high load capacities and precise positioning are required in the tightest of spaces.
The absolute measuring systems SAM and the incremental measuring system Scale combine “guiding” and “measuring” in a highly integrated design.
For applications with increased requirements for corrosion protection, wear resistance, or in cases of insufficient lubrication, SCHNEEBERGER offers special coatings with increased surface hardness – ensuring maximum reliability and extended service life, even under demanding operating conditions
The running and positioning accuracy of an application depends primarily on the geometric precision of the guideway, its exact alignment, and the rigidity of the surrounding structure.
To optimally meet a wide range of requirements, SCHNEEBERGER offers linear guideways in three graduated quality classes. This ensures that the appropriate precision is available for every application – from economical standard to high-precision solutions.
Optimized products for demanding applications with lubrication for cleanroom and FDA use, special cleaning and packaging processes, corrosion-resistant materials, and full product traceability.
