P-713 / P-714 family piezo scanners and positioners with travel ranges of 15 x 15 µm feature especially compact designs. Ideal applications for the P-713 and P-714 are high-dynamics scanning or tracking tasks such as sub-stepping methods for enhancing image resolution. Such tasks involve moving to specific positions in a small area (e.g. marked cells or CCD photosites) and from there following or performing motion with an amplitude of a few microns. The resonant frequency of up to over 2 kHz makes for settling times of a few milliseconds, even after a full-range move, all with closed-loop repeatability of under 5 nm.
A single-axis version with similar footprint is available as P-712 (see link) and XY versions with longer travel ranges are available on request.
Flexibility
P-713 and P-714 nanopositioners are offered in different versions for different applications. The lowest-cost, basic version of the P-713 offers guiding accuracy in the motion plane of 50 µrad, a value generally good enough for dithering and interlacing tasks in scanning patterns of a few microns. For more demanding applications, the P-714 offers greater accuracy, typically 5 µrad or <10 nm absolute.
Nanometer Position Servo-Control
If servo-control is required and no external position sensor is available, the P-714.2SL version, equipped with high-resolution strain gauge sensors (SGS) can provide nanometer-range resolution. High-resolution, broadband, strain gauge sensors (SGS) are applied to appropriate locations on the drive train and measure the displacement of the moving part of the stage relative to the base indirectly. The SGS sensors assure optimum position stability in the nanometer range and fast response.
Ceramic Insulated Piezo Actuators Provide Long Lifetime
Highest possible reliability is assured by the use of award-winning PICMA® multilayer piezo actuators. PICMA® actuators are the only actuators on the market with ceramic-only insulation, which makes them resistant to ambient humidity and leakage-current failures. They are thus far superior to conventional actuators in reliability and lifetime. See the "Selection Guide" for comparison with other nanopositioning systems.
