Positioning Systems for Vacuum Applications
PI miCos - Specialist for Precise Positioning Systems in a Vacuum: A wide variety of applications in microscopy or optical measurement technology require a sample or an optical element to be positioned in a vacuum of up to 10-11 hPa. One approach consists of positioners with vacuum stepper motors - from simple linear or rotation units to Hexapods and spacefabs that allow six-axis positioning in the smallest spaces with high accuracies of a few micrometers. more
Physik Instrumente Acquires a Majority of Shares in miCos
Physik Instrumente (PI) has become co-owner of miCos GmbH in Eschebach, Germany.This allows PI to supplement its micro- and nanopositioning portfolio with a specialist in the field of vacuum applications and system integration. PI thereby expands its range of fast, high-precision system solutions, especially in the area of micropositioning, with air bearing technology and linear motors, for example. more
Super-Resolution Microscope Stages with Capacitive Feedback
PI (Physik Instrumente) has added two higher-performance models to its PInano superresolution (SR) microscope stage series. more
Physik Instrumente Offers a Positioning System for Incremental Motions in the Nanometer Range
With the N-664 linear positioning stage, Physik Instrumente (PI) has developed a micro linear positioning stage for dynamic operation with a maximum velocity of 10 mm/s. more
Physik Instrumente to Invest US-$ 13 Million for Extension of Piezo Ceramics Factory
Motion control specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) and piezo ceramics specialist PI Ceramic are planning to invest approximately US-$ 13 million for the third extension of their piezo ceramics factory and R&D center in Thuringia, Germany over the next three years. At the ground breaking ceremony Dr. Karl Spanner, CEO of Physik Instrumente, mentioned that even after adding 50 employees in 2010 at PI Ceramic, the company was getting close to its output capacity.more
M-687 from Physik Instrumente: Microscopy Stages with Direct Drive
M-687 from Physik Instrumente (PI) is a fast, high-precision XY positioning system which has been optimized for applications with inverse microscopes. This stage provides travel ranges of up to 100 x 75 mm, and its large clear apertures of up to 160 x 100 mm can hold specimen holders as well as Z systems for specimen scanning. The currently available models can be used for inverse microscopes of the Olympus IX2 series and for Nikon Eclipse TI. more
Three-Channel Motion Controller: E-725 from Physik Instrumente
The three-channel motion controller E-725 is now offered by Physik Instrumente (PI). Thanks to digital technology, users have access via software to numerous parameters which optimize the settling time and linearity, or compensate for system inertia during fast scans.Among other performance features, the E-725 optimizes the dynamic positioning of specimen in the X, Y and Z directions for applications such as tracking or atomic force microscopy. more
Dynamic Positioning with Nanometer Accuracy
The best possible positioning accuracy is essential in many technical applications. Examples range from semiconductor manufacturing and biotechnology to optical metrology, microscopy and other imaging methods. Nanopositioning systems with piezoelectric drives are qualified for such applications and due to their short response times and good repeatability mean there is often no serious alternative.more
High Accuracy Sensors and Positioning Systems for Nanoindentation
Nanoindentation is an important tool in the broad field of materials testing. It is derived from the classical hardness test, but is carried out on a much smaller scale. more
Nanometer-Level Positioning with a Clear Aperture of up to 29 mm
More and more techniques in microscopy, today, require an improved resolution. This often requires the combination of a large numerical aperture of the objective, that is a large clear aperture, and a large working distance along the optical axis. 3D images of living tissue are then possible, for example with the help of two-photon spectroscopy.For this purpose, PI now offers a PIFOC piezo Z-drive for objectives with a clear aperture of up to 29 mm. more
