Quality and Brand Policy
We measure the quality and
reliability of our products
against the strictest of stan-
dards. ISO 9001 certification,
which also emphasizes points
like customer expectations and
satisfaction, has been accord-
ed in 1994, making PI the first
manufacturer of nanoposition-
ing technology following this
standard. PI's Integrated Mana-
gement System (IMS) includes

Piezo Nano Positioning
PI Ceramic
Leading in Piezo Technology
PI Ceramic also develops and
produces all piezo ceramic
drive systems employed in PI's
precision positioning systems.
This makes PI the only supplier
of nanopositioning equipment
in the world to manufacture its
own piezo ceramic drives. This
capability allows the flexibility
to provide custom engineered
piezo ceramic components. It
also allows PI to offer the most
reliable piezo stages in the
world, based upon the award-
winning PICMA
®
actuator tech-
nology and to develop innova-
tive drive solutions such as
PILine
®
ultrasonic ceramic
motors and NEXLINE
®
high-
force ceramic motors.
In the tradition of the former
Keramische Werke Hermsdorf
(KWH, until 1990), the PI
Ceramic staff embodies knowl-
edge and expertise in the field
of piezo and ceramic technolo-
gy. Since 1992, PI Ceramic has
been developing and produc-
ing piezo ceramics, worldwide
known as PIC: PI piezo
Ceramics.
PI Ceramica PI Subsidiaryis a world-class supplier of high-performance piezoelectric
actuator and transducer components and subassemblies.
