Q-Motion multi-axis piezo-motor positioners from PI

While open loop designs are more economical for applications where the absolute position does not matter, high-precision motion applications will benefit from the cost efficient encoders employed in the closed-loop stages, providing resolution from microns down to 1nm. Vacuum compatible stages, UHV and non-magnetic options are also available. In addition, PI can quickly modify any standard stage, or provide a fully customised OEM part to meet the exact application requirements.

PI's digital motion controllers and drivers come with ample software support, a graphical user interface programming examples and LabView drivers. An easy to use command and driver set common for all PI controllers make implementation a simple plug-and-play exercise, keeping programming costs and time low as well.

Applications include automation, photonics, semiconductor-technology, bio-nano-technology, life sciences, precision optics, metrology, microscopy, micro-manipulation, including cleanroom applications.
