Physik Instrumente
Physik Instrumente from Germany is the undisputed market leader in products for nanopositioning and Piezo applications. In addition, Physik Instrumente has a splendid product line for micropositioning, with the Hexapod robot as the showpiece. Physik Instrumente has a powerful instrument, and that is its own research department. As a company, Physik Instrumente does everything by itself; from idea, development, production to delivery. Physik Instrumente is consequently vertically integrated.
Flexibility and customization
Physik Instrumente is not only known for its beautiful hardcover catalogue, but also for its flexibility. Physik Instrumente takes a constructive approach en delivers customized solutions, both for single pieces and series of products. Thus, the Physik Instrumente catalogue is more of an overview of the possibilities. It often happens that a customized solution is found, which is based on a catalogue product. Meanwhile, an impressive number of companies worldwide have become customer of PI. Physik Instrumente supplies them with customized products and solutions. For many projects, Physik Instrumente its catalogue products are eminently suitable. Many of these standard Physik Instrumente products are deliverable from stock. Delivery time is four to six weeks.
PI Ceramic
Physik Instrumente has an independent subsidiary in the holding called PI Ceramic. PI Ceramic develops en manufactures high-quality piezoceramic products for nanopositioning. PI Ceramic has specialized in small and medium-sized series of Piezo elements. Like its parent company Physik Instrumente, PI Ceramic focuses on customized products and solutions.
Wide range of products
In addition to the production of these customized actuators and sensors for nanopositioning applications, PI Ceramic also offers a wide range of standard products, including bend elements, ringlets and tubes. PI Ceramic has an independent research department, which mainly deals with market developments and customer queries.
PI Ceramic is an important "internal customer" for Physik Instrumente. After all, PI Ceramic’s piezo actuators are used by Physik Instrumente for processing in high-quality nanopositioning stages. Physik Instrumente also uses PI Ceramic’s piezo actuators to [encase / package] them, often in combination with a preload on the built-in piezo.
