  1. High Performance Nanopositioning Controller For Piezo Stages Provides 270W Peak Power And Nanometer Level Precision 11/5/2020

    PI offers a high performance version of its E-727 family of multi-axis piezo nanopositioning controllers. The high power version provides 270 watts of peak power – close to 10X of the standard version. The enhanced performance is useful for dynamic, nanometer-level precision motion and positioning applications, such as FSM (fast steering mirrors) in free space optical communication and laser material processing, and scanning stages for super-resolution microscopy, semiconductor manufacturing, automated photonics alignment or high-speed tracking applications.

  2. Vacuum Compatible Miniature Linear And Rotary Stages, New From PI 9/15/2020

    PI’s family of miniature micro and nanopositioning stages is expanding with the new RS-40 rotary stage and M-111 linear stages as engineers gave specific consideration to material selection, use of lubricants and coatings, and outbakeing temperatures for high and ultra-high vacuum conditions.

  3. Compact, Low-Cost Optical Power Meters For Photonics Alignment Provide High Bandwidth 7/31/2020

    The F-712.IRP1 and its two channel sibling, the F-712.IRP2, convert optical signals in the 600nm to 1700nm range with optical power from 230 picowatts to 1.3 milliwatts into an analog output voltage of 0.1V - 1.6V. In order to be useful for fast optical alignment systems, the output signal conversion is logarithmic and optical power changes can be detected and converted with a bandwidth of 6kHz.

  4. 5-Axis Stage With Closed-Loop Motors For High Precision Positioning And Fiber-Optics Alignment 7/16/2020

    PI (Physik Instrumente) LP offers a compact 5-axis stage for precision alignment and positioning required in fields such as fiber-optics and photonics. The modular, 5DOF motorized stage consists of a 3-axis linear module and two goniometers. A multi-axis controller and software with automated alignment functionality is also available. Sub-micron precision is guaranteed by highly accurate mechanical components and encoder feedback for closed-loop operation.

  5. Industrial Automation, Laser Material Processing: Interactive Virtual Tradeshow Booths, New From PI 6/30/2020

    With tradeshows and conferences postponed, OEMs, researchers, MEs, and EEs in all fields are challenged to remain abreast of the most responsive, cutting edge motion control solutions. PI (Physik Instrumente) LP, the leading innovator of motion control solutions for 50 years, has launched a series of virtual tradeshow booths on their website, beginning with Industrial Automation and Laser Material Processing solutions.

  6. Fight Against COVID-19: Piezo Transducers For Ultrasonic Metering In Intensive Care Devices 6/24/2020

    ICU medical devices depend on the reliability of all used components and new piezo transducers from PI can be used in medical equipment for treatment and therapy of patients.

  7. Hexapod-Simulator: Which Hexapod Is The Right Model For Your Application? PI's New Software Tells You 6/11/2020

    Free software simulates real application situations and makes it easy to find out the limits of the hexapod before physically setting it up.

  8. Fight Against COVID-19 Using Piezo Ceramics, New From PI 5/20/2020

    Testing of blood, saliva, urine or tissue samples from humans or animals to diagnose and detect diseases, like COVID-19, at an early stage, requires systems that are fast, easy to use, and widely available. As a leader in piezo transducers and nanopositioning, PI (Physik Instrumente) LP provides several products that can be used in various testing methods, such as IVD, cytometry, cell isolation, cell-line engineering, printing of microarrays and lab-on-a-chip systems.

  9. New System Configurator For Inverted Microscopes & XY Motorized Stages, What To Use When 4/16/2020

    To answer the demand for an integrated inverted microscope positioning system that must match perfectly, PI (Physik Instrumente), a leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning solutions, has released an interactive brochure to aid in building the system by beginning with a fine positioner and/or a sample holder.

  10. Markus Spanner Named New CEO Of Physik Instrumente (PI) GmbH & Co. KG 2/20/2020

    After 42 years as managing director, Dr. Karl Spanner has handed over the management of the company to his son, Markus Spanner.
