Precision Motion and Automation Sub-System Solutions to Showcase at SPIE Photonics West 2020

Share Article

PI will highlight new gantries, air bearings, and precision motion control sub-systems for laser material processing, high resolution metrology / microscopy, and silicon photonics (SiP) alignment engines alongside novel piezoceramic drive solutions at Photonics West in San Francisco, starting February 4, 2020.

Fast, Linear-Motor-Driven systems based on Ehtercat / ACS industrial motion controllers will also be shown.

Microscopy Imaging and Bio-Nanotechnology Solution Packages

Researchers make use of the sub-atomic resolution and extreme responsiveness of piezo stages and nanopositioners to create higher-quality images faster. PI provides a large variety of fast XYZ piezo stages and microscope lens positioners for 3D imaging (Z-stack acquisition), deconvolution, and fast auto-focusing applications. A line of ultra-stable long-travel XY microscope stages with self-locking piezo motors is also available.

Miniaturization – Finger-Tip Sized Actuators and Positioners

The ongoing miniaturization of instruments requires opto-mechanical alignment, positioning, and assembly on a smaller scale. Direct drive piezo motors that are only a few millimeters in size enable ultra-compact positioning stages. Finger-tip sized linear and rotary stages are standard, but much smaller custom designs are feasible. Resolutions from microns to nanometers are standard.

Standard and Custom

PI has in-house engineered solutions with over 4 decades of experience working with customers to provide products that meet application demands, and can quickly modify existing product designs or provide a fully customized OEM part to fit the exact requirements of the application.
