Full specifications for this product are available on request. Contact us for the datasheet.
Application context
Reach a region of interest over millimetres, then scan it with nanometre steps on the same body.
Drive XY, XYZ, tip/tilt or Rz combinations from a single integrated stage.
Open-centre variants pass the beam through the stage for transmission and inverted geometries.
Specifying this part
XY, XYZ, ZTxTy, XYRz and full six-axis variants built as one flexure assembly rather than a stack, which keeps the error budget and the height down. High-load and clear-aperture versions are available in the same family.
Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.

NanopositioningWhy an open-loop piezo is wrong by 15 % of its travel, how creep grows with the logarithm of hold time, what strain-gauge and capacitive feedback actually fix — and the bandwidth and sensor noise a servo costs you in return.

NanopositioningPiezo ceramic strains by one part in a thousand, so a 20 mm stack gives 20 µm. Every stage architecture is a different way around that limit — and each one wins a different experiment.
