From Miniature Actuators to Large Gantries
In addition to a wide range of standard air bearing products, PI can design custom motion systems, from mini linear actuators and spindles to large multi-axis gantry systems. Motorized, closed-loop, and passive air cushion solutions are available, and air cushions can be designed to perform many functions in a very compact package, using air for both cushioning and propulsion purposes.
Why Air Cushion?
Air cushion technology has long been recognized as the superior solution for high-precision motion control, offering frictionless, vibration-free motion and outstanding speed stability. The PI air cushion motion system takes advantage of this technology and improves it further through advanced motion control algorithms – increasing stride and completion times, noise and tracking accuracy. By combining advanced hardware and software, the system is able to achieve extremely precise positioning and outstanding dynamic performance, with nearly unlimited service life, significantly surpassing traditional motion control systems.
