Newport offers piezo stages and controller/driver

A Newport Spectra-Physics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 9, 2009

Newport has announced the Nanopositioning line of piezo stages and a three-axis controller/driver.

The product family offers highly reliable, multi-layer, low-voltage piezoelectric transducers and delivers nanometer resolution with fast response time.

Available with high-resolution strain gauge position sensors for highly accurate and repeatable motion, Nanopositioning products will be applied in areas such as microscopy, imaging, lithography, interferometry, surface profilometry, laser tuning and beam steering.

NPX linear stages are available in X, XY, and XYZ configurations.

The multi-axis XY and XYZ devices use an advanced parallel motion principle that ensures perfect parallel and straight motion, with up to 400 micrometres travel.

These stages are also maintenance-free, due to the frictionless guide design.

Typical applications include optical delay lines, interferometers, laser lithography, and scanning microscopy.

NPO Nanofocusing stages are mounted between the microscope and the objectives.

The stages allow up to 250 micrometres focusing range and are compatible with most microscopes and objectives.

NPA translators can generate large forces up to 1000N, which makes them particularly suitable for high-load, dynamic applications like machine tools, active vibration or adaptive mechanics.

Due to their small size and high resonant frequency, NPA translators can also be used in scanning microscopy, laser tuning and beam steering, patch clamping or micro lithography applications.

The PSM Ultrafast piezo steering mirror provides high-speed, sub-microradian resolution, tip, tilt and Z-motion for mirrors, grating and other optics.

Equipped with a direct piezo actuation system without lever arm transmission, the PSM is suited to high-bandwidth laser beam steering, switching and stabilisation, beam scanning, image stabilisation, and laser cavity tuning.
