PICA™-Power High-Level Dynamics Piezo Actuators (HVPZT)

Amplifiers, Drivers &Controllers PI offers a wide range of piezocontrol electronics, from low-power drivers to the ultra-high-performance E-480 power amplifier delivering 2000 W of dynamic power.For closed-loop positioningapplications, a variety of ana- log and digital controllers is also available. The modular E-500 system can be upgradedfrom an amplifier to a servo-controller and offers a variety of computer interfaces. Of course, PI also designs cus-tom amplifiers and controllers.

Short Leadtime for Standard& Custom Designs PICA™-Power-series piezoce-ramic stack actuators are offered in a large variety of standard shapes and sizes,with additional custom designsto suit any application. Because all piezoelectric mate-rials used in PICA™-Poweractuators are manufactured atPI Ceramic, leadtimes are short and quality is outstanding. Allstandard and custom PICA™- Power actuators are delivered with performance test sheets. Flexibility: PI Ceramic’sStrength applications knowledge, gained
Application Examples over several decades, we know how to build performance that does not come at the price of reliability. All materials usedare specifically matched forrobustness and lifetime. Endurance tests on PICA™- Power actuators prove consis- tent performance, even after billions (1,000,000,000) ofcycles. All manufacturing processes atPI Ceramic are set up for flexi- bility. Should our standardactuators not fit your applica- tion, let us provide you with a custom design. Our engineers will work with you to find theoptimum solution at a veryattractive price, even for small quantities. Some of our cus- tom capabilities are listed be- low:

Nanopositioning Active vibration dampingand cancellation High-load positioning Precision machining Semiconductor manufacturing and testing Laser tuning Switching Smart structures (adaptronics)
