Engineering Expertise
All key technologies are developed in-house. The technology range at PI allows employees to develop their passion for technology to the full. From precision mechanics and electronics to position sensor technology and piezo ceramic and actuators that are developed at PI Ceramic. The development of technology ranges from the basics to application-specific versions; the best possible solution results from the technical potential, which comes from the know-how accumulated over many years as well as the corresponding production capacity.
The new Technology Center, inaugurated in 2017, extended and focused the capacity and expertise in development and construction.
Vertical Production Range and Production Capacity
A modern production management and an integrated management system allow PI to guarantee the high quality of its products, processes, and services.
The continual improvement of organization and processes is an integral part of the corporate culture. KAIZEN workshops and an active innovation management are important elements for achieving this.
The production processes for the standard range are made flexible by the fractal production structure and it is therefore possible to manufacture even large series with full process control.
Active, system-based requirements management makes it possible to dispense with comprehensive storage facilities.
The product spectrum ranging from the two-ton hexapod to the 10-gram nanopositioner requires PI to have the equipment and technologies at its disposal that allow the systems to be manufactured, assembled, and qualified.
