| | | PI offers a large variety of innovative motion control solutions for precision positioners. Included products range from compact, single-axis controllers for DC servomotors, piezomotors and voice coil industrial scanners, to control systems for complex, parallel kinematics, 6-DOF Hexapods. Custom systems have been built capable of coordinating up to 273 axes. Positioning and Sequencing: Automation System Solutions from PI The motion controllers shown here were specially designed for PI micropositioning systems. With PI mechanics, the comprehensive pallette of software, and all necessary cables included, plug-and-play operation is the rule. With some controllers, it is possible to network up to 27 or more axes for simple system scalability. In addition to standard systems, custom systems can be assembled with control for several hundred axes. Integrated Drivers All PI industrial motor controllers are equipped with integrated servo amplifiers and/or drivers in order to simplify system design and reduce costs. In addition, the DC-motor controllers offer PWM outputs for use with external amplifiers or with the integrated amplifiers in PI's direct-drive, ActiveDrive™ stages, such as the M-511.PD. Integrated Controllers PI also offers micropositioning stages complete with integrated motor controllers and amplifiers which can be connected directly to the host computer. Image Processing and Automation The PIMotion&Vision™ system was developed for automation applications; it features a large number of drivers for real-time image processing. Up to 80 axes, | | |
