PI (Physik Instrumente) has successfully established itself on the market as solution supplier of high-precision positioning systems. Many of the positioning solutions that were originally developed for specific applications are part of today’s standard portfolio. A new clearly structured catalogue with 300 pages now provides an overview of the broad range of standard industry-compliant motorized single- and multi-axis positioning solutions.
The mechanical or air bearing systems work either with magnetic direct drives or servo respectively stepper motors. Because all of the technical data, drawings, and integration options are listed, users are able to find the right solution for their positioning task.
The product portfolio presented under the title of "Precision Positioning and Motion Control" introduces a broad range of linear actuators and XY stages, rotation stages and gantry solutions as well as the corresponding motion controllers. Depending on the sensor technology used, the positioning systems work at resolutions in the micrometer or nanometer range. The travel ranges extend up to several 100 mm. In addition to the standard products, exemplary custom developments are presented as well as solutions for special markets; OEM users will find examples for application-specific integration possibilities. The catalogue is available for download at www.pi.ws or can be provided in printed form on request.
