According to Lambda Photometrics, the Physik Instrumente M663 is the world's smallest closed-loop translation stage complete with a high-speed linear motor.

According to Lambda Photometrics, the Physik Instrumente (PI) M663 is the world's smallest closed-loop translation stage complete with a high-speed linear motor.

The compact unit is a design breakthrough in linear piezo motor drive technology.

It provides: a 20mm travel range; 0.1um resolution; 200m/s2 (or 20g) acceleration; and 600mm/s velocity.

And all this comes in a package smaller than a 9V block battery.

The linear motor drive is based on a novel ultrasonic piezoceramic actuator manufactured at PI Ceramic (PI's subsidiary, specialising in PZT ceramic materials).

Typical applications include scanning, micromanipulation, biotechnology, micromachining, semiconductor test equipment and screening.

For ease of operation, the M-663 translation stage comes complete with motor driver and cables.

It can be controlled by any PID servo controller from PI or other suppliers such as National Instruments or Galil.

An OEM electronics board is also available.
