Agile Production Processes and New Technologies

Our aim is to support our customers in developing, manufacturing and assembling piezo components, even for demanding requirements. PI Ceramic’s Tech Center combines a wide variety of skills, in both the area of small series manufacturing and further processing. This ensures that samples for specific projects can be qualified quickly and easily.

Short Delivery Times and Flexible Production Processes

At the Tech Center, we mainly process piezo components with the status study, functional sample or prototype, as well as mass-produced articles with special requirements. Here, both single pieces and small series are manufactured separately from mass production, therefore enabling more agile production processes. The product division’s compact structure enables rapid processing and subsequently short delivery times. Thanks to our long-term experience, flexibility and inventiveness, we can offer our partners different approaches to their perfect solution. This influences the costs, for example, for the optional >> further processing of components through contacting or holding.

New Technologies and Special Shapes

From green material or hard material machining to free forming, or the soldering of miniaturized piezo components, the Tech Center tackles numerous challenges to fulfill the product-specific requirements of our customers. In addition to products made of >> piezo ceramic, we can also create samples and series parts made of technical ceramic, e.g., aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide.

From Sample Request to Innovation

The Tech Center caters for the extremes on the piezoceramic size scale. The product division manufactures both >> miniature and large-size piezo components, for example, tubes with an external diameter of only 0.45 mm, and isostatically-pressed plates with an edge length of 150 mm. Additionally, we manufacture the following, e.g.,:

  • Thin PZT plates ≥ 50 µm in tape technology
  • Arrays with dice-and-fill technology
  • >> Half and hollow spheres and focus bowls
  • Components for capacitive sensors
  • Ceramic guide rails
  • Composite ceramics
