Long range for PZT steering mirror
Polytec PI, NanoPositioning Group, has released what it claims to be the world's longest-range high-speed PZT-driven two-axis mirror scanner.
Pica-Stack actuators come in a variety of load ranges from 100N to 100kN, and can generate forces up to 80kN.
The new actuators are specifically designed for high-duty-cycle applications.
All materials used are matched for robustness and lifetime.
Endurance tests on Pica actuators prove consistent performance, even after billions of cycles.
The actuators are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, from circular to square, and triangular, even through-hole designs are standard.
Options include special high/low temperature versions, nonmagnetic versions and vacuum compatible versions. Request a free brochure from PI (Physik Instrumente) ...
