About AC Optomechanix BV

AC Optomechanix was founded in 2006 by Lennino Cacace to support the development of advanced opto-mechatronic systems in the high-tech sector. Since then, he has contributed to the architecture and realization of state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation and semiconductor equipment.

Lennino Cacace works as senior opto-mechatronic system architect for research and development departments in industry, with a particular focus on semiconductor equipment and high-precision scientific instrumentation. In parallel, he is part-time assistant professor Opto-Mechatronics at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he serves as main lecturer in opto-mechatronic system design. In addition, he is responsible for the DSPE industry course Opto-Mechanical System Design.

His work focuses on multidisciplinary engineering challenges requiring integrated understanding of optical design, precision mechanics, mechatronics, metrology and systems engineering. A central theme is first-principles analysis, early identification of architectural risks, and development of robust design concepts enabling predictable high-performance hardware.

AC Optomechanix operates at the interface of research and industrial development, often working in small high-performance teams on technically demanding projects. Areas of interest include advanced distance metrology, semiconductor equipment architecture, thermo-optical behaviour in high-power systems, sub-nanometre stability design, astronomical instrumentation and emerging approaches in opto-mechanical design.
