for Precision Manufacturing Technology

PI has extensive experience in the design of non-magnetic and UHV compatible ceramic motors.

With an included URDF model in the driver package, the H-811.i2 hexapod can also be simulated and visualized.

High Speed, High Accuracy, High Load, Low Profile

New optical power meters – (l->r) F-712.IRP2, F-712.IRP1 — Learn more

Ideal for photonics alignment applications, 1 and 2-channel compact options are available.

Hexapods provide a better, compact, high dynamics positioning solution to multi-axis applications over a stack of single-axis stages.

With vacuum levels from 7.5x10-7 Torr (10-6hPa) to 7.5x10-10 Torr (10-9hPa) UHV, the linear stage family also provides high precision, with repeatability to 100 nanometers. Travel ranges from 1” to 4” (26mm to 102mm) are offered.

A-688, Custom Rotary Air Bearing, with Large Aperture — Learn more

Completely frictionless motion, no maintenance, and operational in any orientation make this new large air bearing a nanopositioning solution for optical alignment, metrology, inspection, calibration, and scanning.

Long travel ranges, highly accurate and reliable positioning sensor technology, and high speed aligment are features of this new system.

The A-311 XY stage family was recently extended by two new longer travel models and now comprises scanning ranges from 50x50mm to 300x300mm to cover additional precision motion applications in industry and research.

In San Diego, PI will showcase its 6 and 12-axis Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment Engine and 2-axis linear stage solutions, engineered to reduce costs and improves yield.
