Optomechanics & Positioning

XY, parallel-kinematic, piezo positioning stages that combine sub-nanometer resolution, high dynamics and excellent geometric performance in a compact, low-profile package.

Mechanical bearing, linear-motor stage. small-size, high-precision design, integrated XY travel, capable of nanoscale motion.

Linear Motor, Linear Encoder - 8” XY travel (205 mm) - 0.02 µm min. inc. motion - 0.001 µm sensor resolution - 200 mm/sec max. velocity - 5 kg load - Linear motor, linear encoder

X-Y-Z piezo flexure nanopositioning stage for fast alignment and scanning. 100 microns travel range in X, Y, Z direction. This multi-axis piezo stage features sub-nanometer resolution, high accuracy position sensors and parallel-kinematic design for faster response, higher stiffness and symmetric dynamic performance in all spatial directions.

Provides submicron accuracy, deriving their precise control by using closed-loop DC servomotors and employing high-resolution rotary encoders for positioning feedback. An optional linear encoder can be added to provide greater positioning accuracy. They utilize crossed-roller slides, precision lead-screws, and zero-backlash miniature geared DC servomotors for smooth and accurate motion.

The linear motors enable smooth, steady, controllable acceleration and travel provide stability for the sample. The movement is so smooth that images can be shot 'on the fly'. Programmable speeds down to 1 µm/sec with the triggering ability of the ProScan controller enable picture perfect synchronization for imaging applications.

Mechanical bearing, linear-motor stage. medium-size, high stiffness design, rugged mechanical construction, direct-drive linear motor for ultra-precise motion.
