High-Throughput Lens Alignment

In precision-critical lens alignment, the performance of the positioning system directly impacts throughput, yield, and efficiency. Existing solutions often reach their limits, especially when high repeatability, long-term stability, and 24/7 operation are required. PI meets these challenges with its industrial hexapod, a robust hexapod system designed for a long service life and a very high number of cycles.

Designed for demanding industries such as Silicon Photonics, Semiconductor, and Industrial Automation , the system combines a compact footprint with a robust mechanical design and is therefore ideally suited even for tight integration spaces like those in mobile camera lens assemblies. With six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, yaw), it enables highly flexible and precise alignment across multiple axes.

The industrial hexapod is engineered for continuous, repetitive motion. It delivers reliable long-term performance in demanding environments. Thanks to its absolute encoders, the hexapod does not require referencing after a restart. Standard interfaces (Ethernet, EtherCAT) simplify integration. The result: fast, stable, and precise motion for high-volume lens alignment, optics assembly, and other demanding applications.
