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
Ultrasonic Motor Powers –
Physik Instrumente announced the M-692 series of low-profile, ultrasonic linear translation stages designed for high-speed positioning tasks with limited space. These stages are low profile, closed-loop, linear motor-equipped, micropositioning systems. Two standard versions are available: M-692.1U4 with 20 mm stroke and M-692.2U4 providing 90 mm. Both versions are equipped with integrated linear encoders for backlash-free positioning. The stages can be arranged to form compact XY systems. more
Digital Motion Controller
The E-709 singlechannel piezo controller from Physik Instrumente (PI) opens up the digital technology and its advantages to lower-cost systems in the accuracy class from one to 10 nanometers. It will initially support the strain gauge sensors (metal foil or piezo-resistive) which are used in lower-cost piezo systems. The D/A conversion is 16 bit, the 32 bit processor with 150 MHz clock-pulse rate allows a servo rate of 10 kHz. more
Low-Cost Drive Electronics
The compact Nexact piezo stepping drives from Physik Instrumente (PI) push forward into a new performance class for linear drives: with forces of 10 N, velocities of more than 10 mm/s, and at resolutions of a few nanometers they replace the typical stepper or DC servomotors in applications that depend on the combination of force and resolution on large travel ranges. The E-862 driver electronics is the ideal control for the drives when operated in open-loop or when used with an external positioning and velocity control. more
3D and Super Resolution Microscopy
The PI nano Z low-profile piezo Z stages are optimized for fast step and settle and easy integration into high-resolution microscope applications. They feature a low profile of 0.8" (20 mm), a large aperture, and travel ranges of up to 200 µm with sub-nanometer closed-loop resolution-ideal for leading-edge microscopy and imaging applications.For highly-stable, closed loop operation, piezoresistive sensors are applied directly to the moving structure and precisely measure the displacement of the stage platform. more
