| IPI Ceramic, a subsidiary
of PI, has invested several million German marks over the past two years
on the latest technology. The financial infusion has been used among other
things to procure another micrometer exact ceramic saw to slice ceramics
into disks, and a new sputtering system. Thin film electrodes of Cu, CuNi,
Ag and other materials on ceramic substrates for actuators and sensors
can now be manufactured in fully automated and exact reproducible processes.
This hi-tech equipment further enhances the range of cutting edge products
manufactured by PI Ceramic, and increases the company's flexibility, reliability
and competence. |
