PI’s P-763 XY nanopositioning stage is a new, more affordable addition to PI’s wide range of piezo stage positioners. The compact P-763 flexure-guided stage has a footprint of…
Compact Linear Translation Stage for Nanopositioning
PI (Physik Instrumente) LP offers a new type of positioning stage based on a miniaturized ceramic inertia drive. The PI miCos LPS-45 linear translation stage is designed to…
Precision Positioning Systems go Nano
Physik Instrumente (PI) introduced a series of miniaturized, piezo-motor-driven linear positioners at the 2013 LASER World of PHOTONICS conference — the world’s largest trade show for lasers and…
Motion-Amplified Piezo Actuator Cuts Costs
Piezo motion specialist Physik Instrumente (PI) has added a new member to its PiezoMove family of motion-amplified, flexure-guided piezo linear actuators. The new P-604 model was designed with…
Motion Controller for Precision Linear Positioners and Rotation Stages
PI (Physik Instrumente) LP is offering a new motion controller for closed-loop precision positioning systems. The C-884, 4-axis digital servo controller was designed to control motorized linear translation stages…
6-Axis Motion Controllers for Hexapod Precision Positioners
Two new 6-axis motion controllers are now available for PI’s new H-series hexapod precision positioner family (H-206 to H-850). The new C-887.21 compact controller is a space-saving bench-top unit that also reduces the system cost. It provides the same performance as the larger, C-887.11 controller. This 19″ rack-mount unit adds two additional channels for the […]
Miniature 6-axis Robot Positions Precisely
Hexapods, or parallel kinematics positioning systems, can move masses of 50, 200 or even 1000 kg with micron accuracy such as that required in medical applications. These Hexapod systems are all built with six high-resolution electro-mechanical or piezoelectric actuators all acting on a common platform. It is the familiar flight simulator design, but considerably more…
