Part I: What Machine Builders want in a Precision Linear Motor Stage: Precision automation engineers have different requirements than their colleagues in the instrumentation sector: robustness, size, dynamics, and 24/7 reliability. Novel linear stage modules provide clever advancements that deserve a closer look.

Part II: Piezo Flexure Actuators, Nanopositioners, and Other Piezo Mechanisms for Precision Motion Control Applications: Packaged piezo actuators, provide extended motion, guidance and mounting interfaces for easy integration. These flexure enhanced piezo actuators are the gold standard for precision, speed, and force in a small package.
