Precision Positioning Systems

 

PI miCos develops and manufacturs world-class precision positioning equipment for industry, OEM and research. Our products are used in many fields from optics / photonics / lasers, to beamline instrumentation and astronomy. Motorized linear translation stages come with a variety of motor drives, position feedback systems and controllers. Rotation stages are available with compact stepper motors and high-precision torque motors and air bearings for the highest precision requirements. Nanopositiong stages with piezo drives are also available as are a variety of hexapods and other parallel-kinematic positioners for 6-degree-of-freedom positioning and alignment applications. Most positioning stages are also available for high-vacuum and UHV environments.
