PI (Physik Instrumente) LP has released “The World of Micro- and Nanopositioning 2005/2006” catalog, which describes products and technologies such as ultrasonic linear motors, six-axis hexapod micromotion robots, motorized precision actuators and stages, servo and stepper motor controllers, and ceramic-encapsulated piezo actuators. Photonic alignment tools, capacitive nanometrology sensor systems, high-speed scanning mirrors and mirror shifters, parallel-kinematics nanopositioning and scanning stages, and nanopositioning motion controllers and piezo drivers also are presented. Along with a selection of options and accessories, the 500-page resource includes drawings, specifications, tutorials, reference materials, selection guides and application indexes.
