Our Story

The ACS Mission

ACS began with a founding mission to provide semiconductor inspection system manufacturers the precision motion control capabilities needed to address the growing demand for higher throughput and accuracy. Over the years, our solutions have evolved from standalone controllers to an integrated platform architecture that supports the full machine lifecycle. Our systems are now embedded in complex, multi-axis machines across many industries and complex applications around the globe.


In 2017, we joined the Physik Instrumente (PI) Group, extending our reach and capabilities while maintaining our independence and innovative spirit. Today, with offices in Israel, the United States, Germany, and China — and a network of trusted global partners — we continue to serve OEMs who demand more from their machines.
