M-660: Lowest Profile, High Speed Rotation Table is Piezo-Motor Driven
The new ultra-low profile (0.6”), direct-driven, high-speed rotary stage is based on PI’s proprietary PILine® piezomotor technology.
Fast, Self Locking, Direct Drive, Direct Encoder
The M-660 precision rotation stage reaches top speeds of 720 degrees/sec. and resolution to 4 µrad. Its self-locking ceramic drive holds the position steady at rest, with no energy consumption and heat generation. A directly coupled precision optical encoder provides phase lag-free, backlash-free feedback to the servo controller.
Features & Advantages
Max. Velocity 720 °/s, Unlimited Travel Range
Low Profile: Only 15 mm (0.6”)
Self-Locking Ceramic Direct Drive: Energy Saving & High Position Stability
Direct Metrology Precision Encoder, 4 µrad Resolution
PILine® Drive: Non-Magnetic, Vacuum-Compatible Working Principle
Compact Combinations with Linear Stages Available
Ceramic Drive used in the latest Generation Optical Instruments
The compact design with minimized mass and inertia provides high precision bidirectional speed and position control, as well as high speed motion contouring. The M-660 is based on the new
U-164 Piezo Motor and outperforms the stability, acceleration and settling speed of traditional servo motor direct drives and gear-driven mechanisms. The innovative motor drive was also chosen by Leica Geosystems AG’s in their newest generation of surveying instruments for geodesy, because it can provide significantly higher speeds, shorter positioning times and a very high positioning accuracy when moving the measuring optics.
Controller / Software Support
A newly designed piezo motor controller is available to take advantage of the specific motion characteristics of ultrasonic ceramic motors. USB interfacing and a solid software and driver package for seamless integration are included.
The M-660 PILine® rotation stage allows high positioning speeds to 720 degrees /sec. It also features a very low profile of 15 mm (0.6") and a 35 mm Ř clear aperture
