Solutions for Precision Automation

Paving the way for 5G – enabling high functional density of printed circuit boards with motion control solutions for laser drilling.

A lighter and more flexible design, less energy consumption, higher resolution and even more contrast and brilliance. This is what future display technologies should achieve to meet the requirements for function, handling and lifetime. To make use of the potential of MicroLED technology and to enable economic mass production, PI supports research groups and manufacturers worldwide with drive,...

A gantry precision positioning stage is sometimes called a linear robot or Cartesian robot. Gantries typically provide motion in 2 or 3 linear degrees of freedom (X-Y and X-Y-Z) and are often used for pick and place applications, 3D printing or laser machining, and welding applications.

Industrial dosing procedures are very diverse, but they all have one thing in common: The high requirements for accuracy. These requirements must be met independently of environmental influences. Piezo elements with their compact size, speed, and their low level of energy consumption are suitable for reliably moving and dosing small liquid volumes in the range of a few hundred milliliters up to a...

The printing methods as well as their application areas are varied, but they have one thing in common: Their main objective is ultrafast and precise dispensing of liquid volumes down to the picoliter range. With the jetting procedure, which is often the underlying procedure, liquids are dispensed without contact onto the printing material. This procedure makes use of the piezo effect.

Ultrasound has been used for a long time and extensively in hydroacoustics and it also occurs naturally in marine animals. Hydroacoustic applications profit from piezo technology. The low frequencies, generated by piezo components, are perfectly suitable for use in direction-finding ultrasonic beacons for object detection.

Sensor technology in industrial production is becoming especially important in conjunction with digitalization and Industry 4.0. Since ultrasound is a versatile instrument in measuring and monitoring various processes and procedures, such sensors are very sought after in the industry.

PI piezo expert and Field & Technical Sales Engineer Alexander Conrad explains why piezo-based ultrasound transducers are perfekt for industrial applications. Object recognition, structural monitoring, distance and acceleration measurement all benefit from the advantages of piezo technology.

PI piezo expert and Head of Sales Dirk Roessger explains why piezo solutions are ideal for smart metering tasks. Smart metering applications such as flow metering, air bubble detection or level detection call for piezo elements to ensure a contactless and thus contamination-free process.

Industrial production processes place high demands on automated solutions: Increased productivity and quality, more flexible processes, shorter production times, and lower costs. The precision, throughput, availability, and scalability of the systems are important factors in this context. PI supports customers around the world with positioning solutions that achieve the desired performance.
