The aixCMA is a high-precision test bench for comprehensive electrical and electromechanical characterization of ceramic multilayer actuators and sensors. It supports measurements of blocking force, stiffness, and d33 under variable temperatures and user-defined waveforms. With flexible sample holders and a wide force range up to 20 kN, it adapts to devices from MEMS to large industrial actuators.
The Piezoelectric Evaluation System (aixPES) is a multifunctional test platform designed for comprehensive electrical and electromechanical characterization of piezoelectric materials and devices. First introduced in 2002, it has become an industry standard for piezoelectric testing, offering high accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility.
With modular sample holders and extensions, aixPES supports bulk ceramics, thin films, polymers, and MEMS structures across wide temperature ranges (–100 °C to 600 °C). Its features include automated measurements, multiple-sample testing, and advanced scanning capabilities, making it ideal for both research and product development.
The system ensures reliable, user-independent measurements of piezoelectric properties, from prototyping to quality control, while accommodating future upgrades to meet evolving testing needs.
