PI News: XY Piezo Stage for Nanometrology / Interferometry /Microscopy: Long Travel Range: 1000 µm

1000 µm Travel XY-Version Added to PIHera® Family of Piezo Nanopositioning Stages

P-628

  • XY-Travel to 1000 µm
  • Compact Design
  • Resolution <1 nm
  • Frictionless Precision Flexure Guiding System
  • PICMA® High-Performance Piezo Drives
  • Direct Metrology with Capacitive Sensors for Highest Precision
  • Up to 0.02% Position Accuracy
  • X, XY, Z, XYZ Versions
  • Vacuum-Compatible Versions
Compact, High Precision & Record Travel Ranges
P-620.2CD – P-628.2CD PIHera® systems are XY piezo-nanopositioning stages featuring travel ranges from 60 to 1000 µm. Despite the increased travel ranges, the units are extremely compact and provide sub-nanometer resolution.

The long travel range is achieved by a combination of a novel, friction-free and extremely stiff flexure system and the award-winning, ceramic-encapsulated PICMA® multilayer piezo actuators.

Superior Accuracy Through Direct-Motion Metrology with Capacitive Sensors
The capacitive-sensor-equipped versions provide motion linearity to 0.02% with effective resolution in the sub-nanometer range. PI capacitive sensors are absolute-measuring, direct-metrology devices that boast very high bandwidth and exhibit no periodic errors

P-628 stages are ideal positioning systems for applications such as nanometrology, (white light) interferometry, microscopy, spectroscopy, and precision alignment of optics.
