Designed to position up to 5kg payloads, Solano offers exceptional speed of 30mm/s and 20°/s thanks to its direct drive brushless motors
The XYZ Deck is purposely designed to match the increased size and versatility of the latest generation of 2P/3P/Multiphoton/Confocal microscopy systems
If you want to move something, you also have to be able to control the movement. Positioning movements in the nanometre range require high-precision control. Aerotech has specialised in motion control and positioning systems for over 50 years. The in-house software developers in Pittsburgh bring concentrated know-how in programming software solutions for motion control: The latest result is the Automation1 control platform, which comes with several new features in the current release 2.2.
