Application examples: Laser Beam Steering/Focusing, Image Stabilization, Adaptive Optics, Bore Sight Systems, Infrared Imaging.

• Piezoelectric Tilting Platforms are designed to tilt mirrors or optics in one or more axes with sub-arc-second resolution and fast rise time (milliseconds or faster).
• Closed loop operation for highest accuracy, linearity and repeatability.
• Step or continuous operation.
• Tilt range 2 to 5 milliradians.
• Platforms driven by 1 to 4 integrated piezo actuators.
• Standard platforms accommodate mirror diameters of 10 to 100 mm.
• Custom designs with diameters up to 300 mm (12 inches) for astronomical applications.
• Standard, custom and OEM control electronics (digital and analog controllers, rack mount and modular systems, compatibility with advanced feed-forward techniques), software.
