Piezoelectric Microstage
New Scale Technologies Inc.Request Info
The M3-LS-3.4-15 Linear Smart Stage from New Scale Technologies Inc. is a direct-drive precision piezoelectric microstage with embedded controller designed for integration into compact OEM instruments.
The M3-LS-3.4-15 has a 100-g capacity for vertical loads and 200-g capacity for horizontal loads. It has a 15-mm travel range and 500-nm position resolution for precise, repeatable positioning of optics, probes, sensors and more. It features absolute encoding so that there is no need to home the stage on power up, eliminating errors and disruptions in processes and experiments. The stage has high stiffness with no gears or backlash.
With low acoustic noise and no high voltage, the M3-LS smart stage is superior to piezo inertia stages, especially when embedded in near-patient instruments and wearable devices. All electronics are completely integrated in the 32 × 32 × 11-mm stage housing. No external controller is needed, making the overall system size significantly smaller than traditional piezo stages. The embedded controller also simplifies integration of the smart stage into OEM instruments.
