LASER World of PHOTONICS: PI launches H-815 Hexapod and B-421 BIX Miniature Linear Stages

At this year’s LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich, which opens its doors today, Tuesday, June 24, 2025, PI is launching the following two new products: At its 100-square-meter stand, PI is presenting the new compact H-815 Industrial Hexapod with an integrated brake. This hexapod is particularly robust and durable, provides high repeatability, and was specially developed for demanding 24/7 industrial operation. 

Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to see the compact, high-precision BIX miniature linear stages of the new B-421 product family for the first time. This series is characterized by its inertia drive, which is based on two piezoelectric actuators. The BIX linear stages have a minimum incremental motion of 10 nanometers and travel ranges of up to 33 millimeters. They are also easily stackable for multi-axis setups, and their integrated encoder enables direct position measuring with a resolution of up to 6 nanometers.

At the stand’s “Future Zone,” PI will additionally showcase the magnetic levitation technology (MagLev) and a lever hexapod which is a further development of hexapod technology that enables fast motion with high dynamics, lower drift, and better repeatability.
