PI Proves NanoPositioning Technology Leadership at ACTUATOR 2000
ACTUATOR is an international conference on new actuators which is held in Bremen every second year. The newest trends in the actuator field were presented between the 19-21 of June, this year. PI and PI Ceramic held nine presentations and poster sessions on the latest research in various actuator fields.

Topics included were

  • Breakthrough in Piezoactuator Applications (review)
  • Low Temperature Properties of Piezoelectric Actuators
  • Actuators with Piezoelectric Impact Drives
  • Hexapod Parallel Kinematics with Sub-Micrometer Accuracy
  • Different Methods of Signal Preshaping for Highly Dynamic Piezo Positioning Systems
  • Investigations of the Loss Power of Stacked Actuators
  • A New Piezo Spindle Drive Combines Microstep Movement and Continuous Motion
  • Novel Digital Control Algorithm Improves Dynamic Performance of Piezo-NanoScanners by Several 100 Times
  • Reactionless, Momentum Compensated Resonant Linear Drives
