Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
Designed for high duty-cycle applications, the P-620 series features a zero-maintenance, friction-free guiding system, ceramic encapsulated piezo drives and absolute measurement position sensors.
Digital control with automatic calibration and tracking error elimination is available.
Travel ranges from 50um to 1mm can be provided in single and multiple axis formats with 99.9% linearity and subnanometre solution.
The stage's very stiff design allows faster settling times providing higher throughputs in automation applications.
The 32bit digital controllers offer advanced linearisation algorithms resulting in very fast communications and highly stable position control.
A wide variety of software tools and LabView drivers is included with the controllers.
Some of PI's new piezo stages' applications will be in nanometrology, spectroscopy, scanning microscopy, optics and mask alignment in nanolithography and head/media test systems. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
