Catalogue is reference work on nanopositioning
Includes a mini-tutorial on nanopositioning technology, with drawings, specifications and datasheets for PI nanopositioning products and related accessories.
Controller is precise with piezo positioning
Digital piezo stage controller answers the most demanding accuracy and dynamic-performance demands of multi-axis piezo nanopositioning systems.
A lower cost, single axis version is also offered.
Typical applications include scanning probe microscopy, nanometrology, biotechnology, interferometry, nanopositioning, quality assurance and semiconductor technology The long travel range is achieved with a newly designed, friction-free and extremely stiff flexure system, which also offers rapid response and excellent guiding accuracy with trajectory precision in the low-nanometre range.
High acceleration forces are provided by multiple, newly-developed high-force multilayer piezo-stack actuators.
A variety of ultra-low-noise 32bit digital controllers provide fast communications and come with a wide selection of software tools.
Because flexure guides, actuators and sensors are all frictionless and maintenance-free, these nanopositioning systems achieve outstanding levels of reliability.
The integrated multilayer piezo drives are protected against humidity by a patented ceramic encapsulation.
The stages are equipped with noncontact capacitive-sensors and provide motion linearity to 0.02% with effective resolution in the subnanometre range.
PI capacitive sensors are absolute-measuring, direct-metrology devices that boast very high bandwidth and exhibit no periodic errors. Request a free brochure from PI (Physik Instrumente) ...
