Are you looking for help with your high-precision motion control application?
You have come to the right place!
PI has the UK's expert application engineers who are ready to help you solve your technical problems.
In order to develop the appropriate positioning and motion control solution that can also be optimally integrated into the application, PI works closely with its customers right from the start. Due to the variety of technologies and experience in precision positioning and automation, PI can react flexibly to the requirements of your technology and offer motion solutions that meet customer needs:
- From single and multi-axis systems to highly customised solutions where the motion of galvanometer scanners and the positioning systems have to be synchronised and are able to run simultaneously.
ACS Motion Control, as part of the PI Group, allows the supply of highly sophisticated automation and motion controllers with a wide range of drive options and dedicated modules for the control of laser applications.
Accelerate Development with Motion Application Simulation
The SPiiPlus Simulator is designed to meet the needs of high-tech OEM machine builders. Included in the SPiiPlus ADK Suite software package, it enables streamlined development of applications at the controller- and host-level without connecting to any hardware. A robust simulation of the machine can be developed using ACSPL+ programs to execute process recipes, emulate responses to inputs and fault conditions, and more.
For more information about high-performance motion and control solutions for improving throughput and precision in laser applications, and anything of this sort, your best first place for information is to ask Neil Beaumont your local PI applications engineer.
