Custom Precision Automation Solutions Shown in PI Booth at 2017 LASER World of PHOTONICS

New precision automation solutions for Si Photonics, Laser Machining and Touch Display Testing – provided by PIs engineered systems group.

The worlds largest conference and trade show on laser technology and photonics is the backdrop for PIs most anticipated high performance motion solutions for photonics, robotics, microscopy, and precision industrial automation applications. Held in Munich, Germany from June 26th to 29th, LASER World of PHOTONICS includes lectures and exhibits from the pioneers of the photonics world and anticipates more than 30,000 visitors this year.

Engineered Precision Automation Systems
Designed specifically for packing and probing applications, the innovative fiber alignment system - the Fast Multi-Channel Photonics Alignment engine (FMPA) - will be displayed at PIs booth in Hall B2. The multi award-winning product family delivers nanoscale alignment precision and speed by combining the latest in software, hardware, and precision mechanics to speed up the testing and packaging of silicon photonics (SiP) components that involve multiple optical inputs and outputs.
An additional feature at PIs booth is a 10-axis precision motion system for touch panel testing that includes a voice coil actuator with highly sensitive force feedback and a hexapod for 3D linear and 3D angular alignment with a software controlled pivot point.
Another exhibit focuses on precision laser machining. Here the broad spectrum of drive and control technologies provided by the PI Group is combined into a state-of-the-art system with higher accuracy and throughput than traditionally possible.
Definitely worth a visit, PIs engineers will walk you thru the short process of how PI takes your motion control issue and turns into a fully functioning solution that saves you time and money.

Standard and Custom
PI has in-house engineered solutions with over 4 decades of experience working with customers to provide products that meet application demands, and can quickly modify existing product designs or provide a fully customized OEM part to fit the exact requirements of the application.

Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
