13 Sep 2006 The P-612 Piezo-Z precision scanning stage from nanopositioning specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. provides rapid response, subnanometer resolution and highly repeatable motion in the Z-axis. This stage is a low-cost addition to the company's large range of leading-edge Z, XY, and XYZ piezo stages and piezo controllers.
Despite its small footprint of only 60 x 60 mm the P-612 piezo-Z nanopositioning stage provides a travel range of 100 µm. The 20 x 20 mm clear aperture makes P-612 stages ideally suited for specimen positioning in microscopy. Thanks to PICMA® piezoelectric actuator drives and frictionless flexure guidance, P-612 stages provide response times of a few milliseconds.
Features & Advantages
* Small Footprint: 60 x 60 mm
* 100 µm Travel Range
* Resolution to 0.2 nm
* For Cost-Sensitive Applications
* Clear Aperture: 20 x 20 mm
* PICMA® High-Performance Piezoelectric Actuators
Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Versions
Open- and closed-loop models are available to suit your application. The closed-loop versions are equipped with high-resolution, strain gauge sensors mounted on the flexure guiding system for optimum position stability and responsiveness. The sensors are operated in a full bridge circuit and provide position information with nanometer resolution to the servo-controller.
Typical Applications
Interferometry, Microscopy, Nanopositioning, Biotechnology, Quality Assurance, Semiconductor Technology
Superior Lifetimeline
Reliability is assured by the use of award-winning PICMA® multilayer piezoelectric actuators, which are integrated into a sophisticated, single-module, flexure guiding system. PICMA® actuators are the only actuators on the market with ceramic-only insulation, making them far superior to conventional actuators in lifetime and performance. The FEA-modeled flexures are wire-EDM-cut for superior guiding precision. In addition they are maintenance-free and not subject to wear.
