[Exhibition Information] PI Japan will exhibit at "OPIE'25".

Single-sided and double-sided, upright and low-profile, high-precision alignment routine.

A high-speed, high-precision photonics alignment system that combines a hexapod 6-axis motor stage with an XYZ-axis piezo stage. Optimized scan/alignment routines for SiPh wafers, photonic devices, PICs, and optical fibers, along with powerful array alignment algorithms, enable fast, high-precision, and simultaneous alignment. The hexapod operates with DC servo motor drive across 6 axes, allowing sub-micron positioning. Additionally, it allows for arbitrary setting of the rotation center to accommodate various devices. The XYZ-axis piezo stage enables nano-level positioning and allows for high-speed response and scanning at high resonance frequencies. Comprehensive and deep software support for rapid process development, including support for common languages such as C#, Python, LabVIEW, and MATLAB on Windows and Linux. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

The maximum travel range is 813mm! With the adoption of a circulating ball bearing, it can withstand up to 450N.

The "L/V-412, L/V-417" is a PIMag high-load linear stage that improves tracking performance due to the high resolution of the encoder. Tracking errors are reduced, and settling time is shortened. For maximum flexibility, you can choose between incremental and absolute encoders. 【Features】 ■ Maximum travel range: 813mm ■ Rated force: 87N ■ Choice of incremental/absolute encoder ■ Can withstand up to 450N due to the use of circulating ball bearings ■ Dust prevention with the use of a cover strap *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Linear motor

Zero wear with air levitation and linear motor. Maximum speed 2m/s, sensor resolution 1nm.

The PIglide IS A-311 is an air-bearing XY planar scanner that levitates the stage drive surface using air. With a flat structure thinner than stacked types, it achieves a compact device design while operating over a wide scanning range of 300 mm × 400 mm and a sensor resolution of 1 nm. The frictionless linear motor drive contributes to a high-speed response of up to 2 m/s and a load capacity of 147 N, aiding in reducing cycle times for laser processing and semiconductor wafer inspection. Its dust-free structure is suitable for clean rooms, and a rich array of controllers/APIs facilitates the integration of XY synchronization and area scanning.

• Cartesian Robot

Compact XY-axis stage with 22mm motion driven by piezo motor, self-locking for position holding.

The U-723 is a PILine XY stage that maintains the mechanical stability of the stage position through a self-locking drive when powered off. Power consumption and heat generation are significantly reduced. These characteristics are advantageous for applications with a small duty cycle, battery operation, or sensitivity to heat. The position of the axis is measured by an encoder, and a optical reference switch enables reliable and reproducible motion. 【Features】 ■ High-speed positioning in two axes ■ Lightweight and space-saving ■ High guide accuracy ■ Sensor resolution of 10nm ■ Self-locking in standby, no heat generation during standby ■ Low noise operation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

3000 N pressing force / 700 N pulling force, 90 µm movement with sub-nanometer resolution, µs response.

The P-844/P-845, which features a PICMA® multi-layer stack housed in a preloaded metal case, is a high-load piezo actuator that operates with a maximum stroke of 90 µm at sub-nanometer precision, enabling a maximum pushing force of 3000 N and a pulling force of 700 N. The P-845 type includes a built-in strain gauge sensor (SGS) that directly measures and provides feedback on the piezo movement, minimizing hysteresis and drift. The P-844 is the version without a sensor. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

<Title> Development of Gene Expression Control Technology through RNA Hacking In the latest presentation paper, we have utilized Abby. Associate Professor Yosuke Katsuta from Kumamoto University Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (also co-founder of StapleBio), will be giving a presentation in an online seminar. He is working on the development of RNA hacking technology aimed at controlling gene expression by utilizing short nucleic acids named Staple to change the higher-order structure of target mRNA. He will present the latest data focusing on the results of cell experiments and animal experiments in the development of this technology.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
