MARS Rover-proven piezo drive technology is behind PI's new high-speed nanopositioning system. The P-630 linear stage achieves its high performance through a direct-drive mechanism and multi-layer piezo ceramic actuators. Its high mechanical resonant frequency of 3.25 kHz enables very rapid scanning speeds and step and settling times of only a few milliseconds.
The compact closed-loop piezo positioner provides 80 microns of motion with sub-nanometer resolution. With a height of 0.7" and width of 2 inches, the device integrates a large aperture of 1.2" an advantage for optical applications.

The drive technology of the highly dynamic piezo nanopositioning systems is based on all-ceramic insulated PICMA® piezo actuators. They were tested by NASA for 100 billion cycles without failure.
Extremely high accuracy and stability in the nanometer and sub-nanometer realm is achieved by an integrated capacitance sensor and closed-loop operation with a digital servo piezo controller.
For high performance control, PI's new E-709.CHG piezo motion controller is available. Its digital control algorithms provide better linearity than conventional piezo controllers and all motion parameters can be adjusted on the fly.

Bota Systems - The SensONE 6-axis force torque sensor for robots
Our Bota Systems force torque sensors, like the SensONE, are designed for collaborative and industrial robots. It enables human machine interaction, provides force, vision and inertia data and offers "plug and work" foll all platforms. The compact design is dustproof and water-resistant. The ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting flange makes integrating the SensONE sensor with robots extremely easy.
No adapter is needed, only fasteners! The SensONE sensor is a one of its kind product and the best solution for force feedback applications and collaborative robots at its price. The SensONE is available in two communication options and includes software integration with TwinCAT, ROS, LabVIEW and MATLAB®.
