PI is a worldwide leading manufacturer of high end solutions in the fields of Ultra Precision Motion and Positioning.

PI stands for technical competence and continuous advance in

- Piezo ceramic (design & manufacturing)
- Piezo-electric drives (actuators, motors and Nano-positioning systems)
- electro-magnetic drives (Voice Coil actuators and linear motors)
- parallel kinematics (Hexapods)
- sensors, controllers and software
- guiding and force transmission (classical bearings and spindles, air-bearing, magnetic-bearings, flexures)
- engineered systems

PI does not only offer one of the broadest ranges of standard positioning stages and actuators for linear, rotary and vertical motion or multi-axes solutions. PI also adapts those technologies to customer-specific applications or supplies finished subsystems for demanding motion and positioning applications. Whether a standard product or a completely new development, whether OEM drive or an integrated system, the objective is always to provide the optimum solution for every possible application.

Control and software is a system component as important as the motion hardware PI put a special focus on this. This includes sophisticated control concepts with dedicated hardware and software interfaces designed for the specifics of the various applications.

Maximum positioning accuracy is the key in many applications. Semiconductor test and manufacturing, super resolution microscopy, surface measurement technology, biotechnology, medical engineering and automation technology require in a growing extent positioning systems with resolutions and repeatability in the micro ' to nanometer range.
