In aerospace and astronomy, precision actuators play a critical role in ensuring the optimal functioning of various mechanisms. These high-performance devices are essential for controlling and adjusting the position of crucial components, from satellite instruments to control surfaces. PI has decades of experience with high precision motion devices — our fast steering mirror mechanisms are used on LEO satellites for free space optical communication, PICMA® piezo actuators are working on the Mars Rover, along with precision motorized stages for laser focusing.
