Products from simple piezo components right through to high speed multi axis positioning systems have been used in a wide range of medical device applications. Piezo technology efficiently and noiselessly generates fast and precise motion whilst meeting required hygiene standards.
Piezo motors can work precisely and efficiently in magnetic field and vacuum critical applications. Self locking in a power off state minimises power consumption.
Mulitaxis alignment systems (such as Hexapods) offer a very precise and unique positioning tool for surgical and research applications.

PI precision positioning stages and actuators have been used in many noncontacting optical inspection and contacting nanometrology applications. They provide sub-nanometer precision and extremely uniform motion.
PI piezo actuators can be used to precisely focus a microscope objective in milliseconds, and they can also help to sort cells rapidly.
PI piezo actuators and piezo motors provide very high forces and require little to no power in quasistatic applications. They can also work in a vacuum and at very low temperatures—conditions found in space applications.
PI provides a large variety of fast objective lens positioners (Z-motors), as well as sample scanners for deconvolution and 3D imaging (Z-stack acquisition) and fast focusing stages.
