Products

HexapodThe Physik Instrumente (PI) product range of piezo and motor driven Micro- and Nano- positioning systems provides the solution to many applications across a range of industries.

PI develop and manufacture high precision positioning systems for both sub micron and nanometre level applications. The range extends from complex positioning systems that require nano and micro scale movement in multiple axes, to low cost actuators and stages for volume OEM users. Around the World have PI have a network of subsidiaries and distributors in place to support local needs.

Detailed product information is available on the main PI website, see the links below.

A team of experienced positioning specialists at PI (Physik Instrumente) Ltd, PI’s subsidiary in the UK, is ready to work with you to find the most appropriate solution to your application. Click here for our contact details.

With many low cost products now available, the PI product range can meet the demands of both Industrial and University customers. Selecting the right combination of stage and controller for an application, however, can be a difficult task. Understanding the terminology and knowing what information is important is only the first step. To help you in this process please see the following information guides.

Capacitive Nanometrology Position Sensors Overview

Capacitive Metrology Sensors Introduction
PI capacitive (capacitance) sensors are the metrology system of choice for the most demanding nanopositioning applications. They are absolute-measuring, high-dynamics devices. PI capacitive sensors / control electronics use a high-frequency AC excitation signal for enhanced bandwidth and drift-free measurement stability (subnanometer stability over several hours, see Fig. 6, on Link).
