PI Extends Production Capacity – New Manufacturing Building
Videos reveal finalists’ new technologies, with online voting beginning October 28 and onsite voting available during the event.
Auburn, MA - PI, the global leader in nanopositioning, ultra-precision motion control and piezo technology, has completed the construction of an additional manufacturing building at its Eschbach, Germany site.
With investments of around $22M and 66,000 sf of additional space, PI is strengthening its global development and production center and the economic development of the region.
The expansion will enable production capacities of precision motion control and nanopositioning technology products to be tripled in order to meet the demands of customers from the semiconductor, photonics, laser processing and life sciences industries.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
