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.
Systems range from pen-tip-sized ceramic actuators for high-volume optics and medical applications, to high-force nonmagnetic ceramic actuators for ultra-precision vacuum applications.
High-speed ultrasonic actuators provide velocity to 800mm/s and accelerations to 20g, whereas flexure actuators respond to control input in as little as a few 100us to operate fast pumps or position optics in high-speed focusing or alignment applications.
In addition to the novel piezoceramic motors and actuators, a number of ballscrew actuators with servo and stepper motors are also available; they provide resolution in the 0.1um range, and forces to 400N.
nonmagnetic and vacuum compatible versions are offered throughout the product spectrum.
These precision actuators are designed for applications in fields such as: aerospace and astronomy, semiconductor metrology, medical design, ultraprecision machining, test and measurement, photonics, optics and microscopy.
