Product Portfolio
  • VACUUM & CRYO

  • VACUUM & CRYO applications are becoming more essential due to technologies that can only be applied in vacuum and cryogenic. For over 14 years, PI miCos has applied its extensive vacuum and cryogenic experience to the motion technology field. We supply components and systems for vacuum levels from 10-3 mbar to 10-9 mbar. Most of our standard products are designed with vacuum applications in mind allowing us to easily convert our broad range of stages to be vacuum compatible. We also apply our vacuum expertise to complete turnkey system solutions.

    Vacuum: For specifying the necessary vacuum level it is important to analyze the application. Coating of optics, epitaxy or cristallography are different in the necessary vacuum level as well as mass spectroscopy or others. Not the general vacuum level of 10-6 or 10-9 mbar is often important but the partial pressure of hydrocarbons. As a result of using a wrong grease with higher vapor pressure or use of plastics these hydrocarbons can be a source of contamination of surfaces. Especially laser applications in the UV range are critical because the hydrocarbons can be split into fragments and these fragments can be deposed on optics. The choice of materials and handling processes are at the end the most important points to get the right vacuum stage

      • Albatros®

      • Up to now the use of optomechanical construction systems for optics and laser technology is necessary in the labs of scientists and engineers for research and development.
        The Albatros® system with an optical height of 65 mm is designed to support and simplify the layout of optical systems and laser systems in scientific labs and industry. The precise and handy components of this system are established in many labs around the world since 1991. The easy use and the adaptability of the Albatros® components even to other systems explains the constant success in the market.
      • Moskito®

      • The industry is forced to shrinkt heir products to dimensions where conventional equipment reaches its limits. Consequently PI miCos decided to offer a miniaturized optomechanical system with all necessary components to support the scientists and engineers in their work. The optical height of 1" (25.4 mm) and useful high precision components make small system layouts in short time schedules and affordable prices possible.
      • Campus®

      • The use of lasers in a variety of research fields, industry, medicine and finally in many products of daily life demands a qualified education and training of students in laser technology from uni versitie s, technical high schools and vocational schools. These institutions are addressed by PI miCos, the series of educational laser kits from PI miCos developed to support and improve practical laser training. Within this product line 7 laser training systems of the topics optics fundament als, laser basics , laser metrology, fiber optics and telecommunications, laser material processing, and laser applications are presented. Besides these products PI miCos offers support for elaboration of suited curriculums for laser courses, design of the laboratories and advice in equipment selection with concepts for complete laser training facilities. Last but not least, training courses for all experimental systems are held at ’ place as well as at your site.
