The installation deployment unrolls several interconnected utilities targeted at distinct phases of the system-engineering lifecycle. 1. PIMikroMove: The Universal GUI
Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, Physik Instrumente (PI) is a leading global manufacturer of high-precision positioning technology. Their solutions, which enable motion at the nanometer scale, are fundamental to cutting-edge fields like semiconductor manufacturing, photonics, bio-nanotechnology, and medical engineering.
The centerpiece user application inside the package is . It serves as a unified control center for all connected PI controllers, regardless of their drive mechanics (e.g., voice coil, piezo, linear motor).
, which uses Bode plots to measure transfer functions and stability. Physik Instrumente (PI) Included Software Components pi software suite c-990.cd1
The is compatible with a wide array of digital controllers, including, but not limited to: E-712/E-753/E-754/E-755 : Digital Piezo Controllers. C-887/C-884 : Hexapod Controllers. E-816/E-873 : Linear Motor Controllers.
The is an essential tool for unlocking the full potential of Physik Instrumente's high-precision motion systems. Whether you are using a simple piezo stage or a sophisticated 6-axis hexapod, this suite provides the control, diagnostics, and integration capabilities necessary for advanced engineering projects.
