A compact nanopositioning stage offers quick response and excessive scanning pace – excellent for fiber alignment and tremendous decision microscopy functions – new from PI.
Auburn, MA – PI’s P-616 XYZ Piezo Nanopositioning Stage, based mostly on a parallel-kinematic design, encompasses a single light-weight shifting platform for all three axes, providing excessive precision and dynamics in a compact package deal. Often called the NanoCube®, it’s the smallest and lightest system with capacitive suggestions, offering a 100µm linear journey vary in three levels of freedom.

Sub-Nanometer Decision with Capacitive Place Suggestions for Closed-Loop Operation
The compact flexure-guided nanpositioning stage comes with built-in capacitive sensors, measuring the movement immediately and contact-free on the shifting platform. This direct-metrology idea ensures the very best stability and accuracy, in addition to excessive bandwidth within the kHz vary.
Hybrid Coarse / Tremendous Options for Journey Ranges to 25mm
If longer journey is required, the XYZ piezo nanopositioning stagebe mixed with compact motorized micro-positioning phases, corresponding to PI’s L-505 miniature linear stage, to realize to 1” journey vary in a really small package deal.
Superior Digital Movement Controller Offers Glorious Linearity and Excessive Pace
The P-616 nanopositioning stage is programmed with PI’s E-727 digital servo piezo controller, offering enhanced linearity, quicker settling and scanning speeds in comparison with standard piezo controllers. Easy accessibility to all movement parameters and settings is accessible by way of the included PIMikroMove software program. The package deal additionally consists of drivers for LabVIEW, dynamic libraries for Home windows, Linux, and MATLAB. Interfaces embody USB, SPI, RS-232, and analog. Supported features embody wave generator, information recorder, auto zero, and set off I/O.

Built-in Lengthy-Life Piezo Drives: Examined by NASA for the Mars Mission
The P-616 XYZ piezo nanopositioning stage is powered by ceramic-encapsulated, preloaded, and flexure motion-amplified PICMA® piezo actuators, providing superior efficiency and reliability in comparison with conventionally insulated piezo actuators. These maintenance-free actuators, steerage techniques, and sensors are extremely sturdy and cost-effective, with no put on and tear. In NASA/JPL reliability assessments for the Mars Mission, the actuators impressively survived 100 billion cycles with none failures.
