E-713 High-Performance Motion Controller Family Introduced
Highest Flexibility and Performance for Semiconductor, Photonics and SR-Microscopy Applications
PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in nanopositioning and precision motion and positioning systems, has introduced the E-713 series, its newest motion controller generation engineered for high-performance control of multi-axis nanopositioning systems.
The E-713 succeeds the E-712 controller family, which has long been the trusted backbone of PI's high-performance nanopositioning solutions. Its modular design allows the combination of different drive technologies and position sensors—from servo and piezo motors to capacitive gauges, absolute encoders, and interferometers. Designed for high-precision application markets such as semiconductor test and metrology, photonics test and assembly, super-resolution microscopy, and laser processing, the controller offers exceptional flexibility. It includes capabilities such as 6-axis coordinate transformation for hexapod-like parallel-kinematic structures, integrated scanning and alignment routines for efficient fiber-optic alignment, high-bandwidth/high-resolution analog inputs for analog sensors and signals, along with advanced sensor-processing functions and polynomial linearity correction to ensure outstanding accuracy and operational reliability. A comprehensive software package is included.
Building on the E-712's legacy, the E-713 controller family delivers greater flexibility, simpler integration of third-party peripherals, and a new performance benchmark for multi-channel applications.
The E-713 motion controller is supported by PIMikroMove, PI's intuitive user software that enables rapid startup without programming expertise and provides graphical visualization of signals and operations. An extensive set of drivers is also available for C, C++, C#, NI LabVIEW, and MATLAB.

Featured Product
Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
