Why choose Physik Instrumente (PI)?
Nanometer precision
Friction-free piezo and air-bearing designs deliver positioning resolution down to the sub-nanometer range.
6-axis motion
Parallel-kinematic hexapods position and align loads across all six degrees of freedom in a compact platform.
Long-life reliability
Frictionless air-bearing and piezo drives minimize wear for stable performance in 24/7 automation.
Wide application range
Solutions span semiconductor, photonics, microscopy, laser processing, and metrology applications.
Product series
Understand each series to find the right fit for your application.
Piezo Nanopositioning Stages
