Applications for active shims can be found everywhere, where the gap between two assemblies is critical and needs to be readjusted as a result of drifting or changes in tolerance. Particularly when the ambient conditions and the accessibility make manual intervention complicated, PIRest actuators are a feasible option
For qualification and calibration of a machine
During first installation of machines at the customer's location
Realignment as a consequence of temperature drift
During realigning due to changed dimensions of components, for example
Due to the actuator's high resolution of only a few nanometers, not only those applications in classical mechanical engineering are included, but also alignment of optical components in astronomy, or material research in synchrotrons, and in semiconductor manufacturing for example.
