  1. PI Uses Hexapods And Drones For New Industrial And Research Applications For Motion Simulation And Compensation 6/24/2016

    Hexapods are 6 DOF motion systems that derive 6-axis movement from actuators placed in parallel between a top and bottom platform. Available in a variety of sizes with bases ranging from 100mm to 1m, different stiffness configurations, and supportive of loads from 2 kg to 1,000+ kg, PI hexapods share two common traits – precision and versatility– as seen in a new test of a drone-mounted camera on PI’s H-840 hexapod as it goes thru a series of motions.

  2. New Spherical Electro-ceramic Components Designed For 360 Degree Ultrasonic Applications 6/10/2016

    PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers a line of standard and custom electro-ceramic hemispheres and hollow spheres for applications from echolocation (sonar) to flow measurement. These new components join the existing extensive catalog of disk, rods, cylinders, plates, blocks, rings, and tubes employed by high-tech research and industry fields, including medical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace, and semi-conductor applications.

  3. PI Releases New Catalog Of Nanometer-Precision Motion Systems With Magnetic Direct Drives And Air Bearings 6/2/2016

    PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a new catalog of its magnetic direct drives and air bearing technology solutions, including actuators, linear stages, multi-axis gantry systems, and customized systems. Application-specific solutions include precision automation in optics and semiconductor manufacturing, assembly, and test equipment.

  4. New PI Low-Cost, Compact, And Smooth Running Stepper/Servo Motor Solution 5/5/2016

    PI offers a new L-406 compact linear stage delivers performance and reliability at minimized cost. It has applications in research and industrial applications, including bio-nanotechnology, microscopy, micromanipulation, inspection and metrology, beamline systems, and photonics instrumentation.

  5. New Fast, High-Load Hexapod For Motion Simulation, Stabilization, And Cancellation 4/29/2016

    PI (Physik Instrumente) recently introduced the H-900KSCO hexapod, designed with dynamic motion in XYZ, pitch roll, and yaw. 6-axis parallel kinematics motion is perfected by PI hexapods delivering nanopositioning precision, high speed, and stability necessary to meet today’s demanding motion control applications.

  6. Crossed Roller Stages Offer High Performance In A Low Profile Package 4/20/2016

    Siskiyou offers a new series of crossed roller bearing linear stages that are the thinnest currently available on the market.  The 50.5cr stages are the ideal choice for space or weight constrained applications which still require the high stability, precise movement and relatively high load capacity characteristic of crossed roller bearings.  In addition, these stages feature a non-influencing foil lock mechanism; this is a screw that tightens down to clamp the stage in a fixed position, without changing its existing position.

  7. PI's New Highly Dynamic XY Linear Motor Scanning Stage 3/21/2016

    PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. introduces a new compact metrology XY stage – the L-731. The magnetic linear direct drive ensures high velocity and acceleration, ideal for inspection and microscopy.

  8. PI's Ultra-Fast Optical Alignment System For SiP Production Named Prism Award Finalist 1/20/2016

    PI (Physik Instrumente) has been named a 2016 Photonics Prism Award finalist for its FMPA Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment Engine. This award is presented by SPIE & Photonics Media, and the winner will be announced on February 17 during the SPIE Photonics West conference.
