Test and Quality Control

The development of products with nanometer accuracy requires highly qualified personnel and an extensivearray of test equipment. Here is a partial list of the technologies and equipment employed by PI: Nanometrology lab with multiplethermal, acoustic and seismic isola- tion for reproducible measurements in the sub-nanometer range Laser interferometer with a large variety of special optics for 1-D to 6-D measurements
Video inspection system for piezo actuatorproduction. Laser scanning vibrometer for vibration measurements Capacitive position measuring sys- tem with sub-nanometer resolution Surface analysis interferometer for sub-nanometer flatness measurement Electronic autocollimators
Special microscope. Computer-controlled environmental chambers Spectrum analyzers Coordinate measurement machines (CMM) Special industrial microscopes
Interferometer and precision optics for sub-nanometer and submicroradian measure- ments. View of one of PI's six-fold-isolated metrology labs. Test of a 6D-Hexapod microrobot withan autocollimator. Component tolerance test. © PI 1998-2005. Subject to change w/o notice. Cat 118 05/09.17 A-12
