Motion Controllers, Drivers and power Amplifiers
for Piezoelctric NanoPositioning Systems



 
PI offers the largest selection of digital and
analog motion controllers and power amplifiers for piezo actuators worldwide.
 
Electronics play a key role for maximum
performance of piezoelectic NanoAutomation® systems (such as PZT translators) and PZT-driven NanoPositioning systems (such as Flexure NanoPositioners or PZT tip/tilt platforms).
 
Ultra-low-noise, high-stability servo-control-
lers and amplifiers are essential because even micro-volt changes of the control voltage are transformed into motion.
 
For applications, where maximum through-put
is crucial, PI's digital feed-forward techniques and high-speed interfaces speed up manufacturing processes.
 
For dynamic high-power applications, our
energy-recovery power amplifiers provide up to 2000 W of peak power.
