JPK Instruments and Physik
Instrumente celebrate five years of successful collaboration
— November 30, 2005

Berlin-based JPK Instruments AG and Physik Instrumente (PI) GmbH
& Co. KG from Karlsruhe can look back on five years of successful
collaboration.
JPK Instruments decided in the early development phase of the
company to bet on the technology of the market leader PI. From
the very first, JPK's NanoWizard® atomic force microscopes
were exclusively equipped with PI's piezo nanopositioning systems.
Only the OEM modules developed especially for JPK reach the critical
performance necessary for JPK products.
PI's technology of flexure guided scanners with parallel-kinematic
design and capacitive sensors allows JPK to cover a range from
100µm x 100µm down to atomic resolution with one single
scan system. In addition, JPK benefits from the further development
of PI products.
Torsten Jähnke, CTO of JPK Instruments, says: "It was
the right decision in a critical development phase to bet on a
well-engineered technology that accomplishes JPK's demand for
high quality. Over the years PI has become an important part of
our story of success."
In order to keep the competitive edge in technology for the further
development of its product lines, JPK will continue in the future
to count on PI products. Through customer-specific developments,
according to JPK's guidelines, PI will ensure the high performance
of future generations of instruments. JPK Instruments and Physik
Instrumente will continue working on faster, ultra precise, high-resolution
positioning systems with maximum sensor performance.
About Physik Instrumente (PI) GmbH & Co. KG:
PI, a global market leader in the field of micro- and nanopositioning
technology, has been developing and manufacturing standard, custom
and OEM products with piezoelectric and motor drives for over
35 years. In addition to its three manufacturing centers in Germany,
