Piezo nanopositioning systems are significant investments and PI believes in optimizing the performance of every customer’s system. PI individually calibrates every stage and optimizes the dynamic performance for the customer’s application. Furthermore, PI makes significant continuing investments in improved-quality, higher-performance nanometrology equipment so that we can deliver better value to our customers.
Because a nanomechanism can only be as accurate as the equipment it was tuned and tested with, PI closed-loop stages are calibrated exclusively with the prestigious Zygo ZMI-2000 and ZMI-1000 interferometers. PI’s nanometrology calibration laboratories are seismically, electromagnetically and thermally isolated, with temperatures controlled to better than 0.25 C° / 24hr. We are confident that our calibration capabilities and procedures are the benchmark for the industry.
Additionally, as part of our philosophy of continuous improvement, formal NIST traceability is scheduled to be established by the end of 2006. |
