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.
The M-122 features a space-saving, folded drive train with the servomotor and drive screw side-by-side.
Equipped with a noncontacting optical linear encoder and a preloaded, precision-ground, ball-screw, these stages can provide much higher accuracy, better repeatability and dynamic performance than conventional stepper motor stages or rotary encoder-equipped servomotor stages.

For multi-axis applications, the C-843 PC Board is available.
M-122 stages can be combined with very compact XY and XYZ systems.
Due to its low-friction, the backlash-free ball screw yields significantly higher mechanical efficiency than leadscrews, and allows maintenance-free, high duty-cycle operation at high velocities up to 20mm/sec. Request a free brochure from PI (Physik Instrumente) ...
