Positioning systems for every application

The German company Physik Instrumente, our main partner for positioning, is a global manufacturer with a long tradition known especially for its piezo nano-positioning systems. However, these systems form only one part of a very comprehensive portfolio that currently includes almost every conceivable micro- and nano-positioning technology and principle for almost every application, not only in industry but also in academia.

Whether it is biotechnology, industrial automation, materials research, semiconductor technology, silicon photonics or other application areas where the requirements are not only for maximum positioning accuracy but also for high response speed, vacuum compatible design and functionality of these positioning systems over a wide temperature range, Physik Instrumente has the solution.

In our portfolio you will find almost all types of positioning with resolutions ranging from micrometers to tenths of a nanometer, drives ranging from servo and stepper motors to piezo and direct drives, vacuum positioning systems, hexapods and systems with parallel kinematics, piezo ceramic elements or custom solutions tailored directly to your application.
