New Piezo Ceramic Actuators: Lower Voltage for Medical Applications Jan 7, 2011
PICMA Bender piezo actuators offer several advantages over classic bimorph components: low voltage (medical applications!) faster response, higher stiffness, smaller electronics
PI is the global leader in nanopositioning and piezo motion technologies
4 Decades of Experience
When PI introduced piezoelectric nanopositioning technology almost 40 years ago, typical customers were research labs and universities working on laser cavity tuning, Fabry-Perot interferometers and filters. Few foresaw that whole industrial sectors like semiconductor manufacturing or biotechnology would become dependent on progress in nanopositioning. Today, not even the precision machining industry can do without nanometer-level positioning systems.
Custom Designs: Key Technologies In-House-Vertical Integration
PI follows a vertical integration strategy designed to develop and maintain all key technologies in-house. We supervise each and every step from design to delivery in the following areas: software, precision mechanics, digital and analog control electronics, sub-nanometer capacitive position sensors, piezo ceramics and piezo actuators. This assures the highest quality and reduces cost.
Financially Strong-Great Advantage for OEM Customers
PI is a financially stable, privately owned company with a broadly diversified customer base that spans many fields. This strength has allowed PI to keep investing in the next upswing even during the downturn, instead of laying highly-trained people off - a well established, short-sighted practice in the industry. When the economy rebounds, PI is in a position to ramp up production quickly while maintaining the quality customers expect from an ISO9001 certified company.
