Positioning with Piezo Systems Product Finder Online – What is the easiest way for you to find the best positioning solution? The printed catalog is a major showcase for PI and, as well as presenting the entire product range, it also acts as a reference for all of our motion solutions. However, to take advantage of the latest products and developments, we recommend using the product finder on the PI website www.pi.ws. How to use the product finder: Select the product type specified by the axes of motion required. Selection of more criteria expands or shortens the list of results. Select...

Markets and Applications Microscopy: Position Lens or Specimen Optical methods have been relying on PI positioning systems for years, e.g. for aligning optical systems or samples. Piezo actuators and motors are best for replacing conventional motor/spindle driven systems because they are more compact, more precise and faster. Other non-optical microscopic processes, such as SEM (scanning electron microscope) and AFM (atomic force microscope), use PI systems due to their high accuracy and dynamics. Mechanical Engineering Vibrations of a piezo actuator reduce the processing times for...

Scientific Instrumentation From small-scale laboratory automation to experimental endstations of beamlines in synchrotrons and other particle accelerators, a large variety of applications in the scientific environment benefits from piezo based, sub-nanometer precision scanning and positioning. The conditions of use vary, and include ultrahigh vacuum, non-magnetic or cryogenic. The sample positioning setup inside the holography endstation (Image: M. Osterhoff, Institute for X-Ray Physics, Georg-August-University Göttingen) Photonics Packaging, Silicon Photonics During production and...
