Outstanding lifetime thanks to PICMA® piezo actuators
The PICMA® piezo actuators are all-ceramic insulated. This protects them against humidity and failure resulting from an increase in leakage current. PICMA® actuators offer an up to ten times longer lifetime than conventional polymer-insulated actuators. 100 billion cycles without a single failure are proven.
High guiding accuracy due to zero-play flexure guides
Flexure guides are free of maintenance, friction, and wear, and do not require lubrication. Their stiffness allows high load capacity and they are insensitive to shock and vibration. They work in a wide temperature range.
High dynamics multi-axis operation due to parallel kinematics
In a parallel-kinematic multi-axis system, all actuators act on a common platform. The minimum mass inertia and the identical design of all axes allow fast, dynamic, and nevertheless precision motion.

The resolution of the system is limited only by the noise of the amplifier and the measuring technology because PI piezo nanopositioning systems are free of friction.
At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.

Tecnologia PICMA®
Elevata affidabilità e lunga durata attraverso il processo di produzione brevettato per attuatori multistrato.

Sistemi con Guida a Flessione
Le Guide a Flessione realizzate da PI hanno dimostrato i loro punti di forza nei nanoposizionatori. Guidano l'attuatore piezoelettrico e garantiscono un movimento rettilineo senza inclinazione o spostamento laterale.

Controllori Digitali
La tecnologia digitale apre a diverse possibilità di miglioramento delle prestazioni nell'ingegneria di controllo che non sono possibili con la tecnologia analogica convenzionale.

Sistemi Di Posizionamento Piezo a Cinematica Parallela
In un sistema multiasse a cinematica parallela, tutti gli attuatori agiscono direttamente su un'unica piattaforma mobile.
