PI miCos GmbH is the center of expertise for modern precision positioning technology with the product divisions Engineered Systems and Motorized Positioners. The broad portfolio of standard positioning axes is developed here, constructed, and produced for worldwide growing automation market.
The product range comprises linear, rotation, and Z stages, XY stages as well as goniometer stages, and linear actuators ("pushers"). PI miCos maintains a design center for multi-axis automation platforms to be able to design customized gantry systems, for example for inspection or processing machines.
High-Precision Motorized Positioning Systems and Control
Positioning and motion systems with mechanical guides driven by electric motors are the central components in automation processes. This is exactly where the PI miCos has its core expertise. There is already a broad range of precision axes that are suitable for both individual applications and OEM customers. In Eschbach, PI miCos integrates PIMag® linear motors, modern electric motors such as DC(BLDC), AC or stepper motors developed by PI into high-precision, mechanically guided top-class positioning systems.
The common control of various axes is important and necessary in a large number of application scenarios. For this purpose, PI miCos uses suitable controls and configures the appropriate solution. Since 2017, a provider of EtherCAT-based modular industrial controllers, ACS Motion Control, has also been part of the PI Group, therefore providing an ideal link to industrial environments.
Customized Positioning Solutions
In addition to the extensive range of standard products, PI miCos also focuses heavily on customized development for OEM customers. PI miCos benefits here from its longstanding, solid expertise in product development, production of larger quantities and worldwide project management.
PI miCos has its own specialists in system setup who are able to choose the right positioning axes from PI Group's broad range and find the optimum technical, individual but also economically viable solution for the specific challenges of an application. While doing this, PI miCos and the entire PI Group pay a great deal of attention to sustainable solutions from one single source.
