Physik Instrumente enjoys success at the 2017 Motion Control Industry Awards
Physik Instrumente (PI) is celebrating being shortlisted at the 2017 Motion Control Industry Awards.
Physik Instrumente (PI) is celebrating being shortlisted in the Manufacturer of the Year and Contribution to Skills and Training categories at the 2017 Motion Control Industry Awards, held at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, on the 9th of May. The awards acknowledge the achievements of motion control companies and individuals, and have become a leading event in the industry.
Building on last years success, when the company was named Manufacturer of the Year, PI is delighted to have received further recognition in this category. This success is due to the companys partnership approach, working closely with its customers to build long-term, trusted relationships, and helping them to realise the true potential of precision motion and control. Additionally, the companys Lunch & Learn educational sessions, held free of charge at venues around the country, were acknowledged for their contribution to professional training and skills development. Professor Steve Dixon from the Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics, Department of Physics and School of Engineering at the University of Warwick, commenting on a Lunch & Learn session, said: "…the talk was pitched in such a way that it was accessible to everyone… If only all high tech companies were so forward thinking and supportive of the field in which they work."

Featured Product
PickerPal Products provides full case pick module protection to protect employees from falls.
PickerPal has two independent, spring-loaded arms that are self closing, which is preferred by OSHA. 3 arms are used when a kick plate is required. OSHA states that when an employee is within 4' of the edge, the area changes from a pallet position to a, "walking/working surface," which requires a kick plate or a third arm. The spring-loaded arms open on contact with the loaded skid and close on their own as products are off-loaded. This design provides multiple benefits: • Top arms close as product is removed, creating a safety gate, and the third arm closes when the empty pallet is removed. • Empty pallet positions are no longer a safety hazard. • Each are is easily replaced without removing the entire assembly.
