Aerotech's QNP-L series linear piezo nanopositioning stages give nanometer-level performance in a compact, high-stiffness package

A new version of the Piezosystem jena ServiceTool 1.2 for digital piezo electronics has been released. The programme is used for the controlling of piezo-actuators by the digital amplifiers d-Drive and 30DV50 from piezosystem jena

With the nano box USB, piezosystem jena provides a digital piezo amplifier with an USB 2.0 interface. The nano box USB is designed to operate all piezo actuators, which have the suffix D in their part number

Physik Instrumente (PI) has introduced vacuum-compatible versions of the LPS-24 series. Under vacuum conditions down to 10-6hPa, the miniature stages achieve a sub-nanometre resolution over a travel range of 15mm

To align laser modules as comfortably and exactly as possible and simultaneously save as much time as possible, Laser Components has developed its own laser module mounts

Scanlab will introduce an integrated hybrid polygon laser scan system at Lasys in Stuttgart

Aerotech has introduced a Ball-Screw Stage with Linear Encoder, a compact, high-performance linear positioning stage featuring smooth travel combined with high accuracy, repeatability and positioning resolution capability to 25nm

Piezosystem Jena has launched the D-Drive Pro, the latest generation of digital control electronics for piezo actuators, for micro and nano positioning for accurate movement of optical components

PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers the M-417 stage, which has a repeatability of 0.5um over a 500mm travel range, for precise positioning tasks in precision fabrication and automation

Physik Instrumente (PI) has launched a product line of linear nanopositioning systems, the P-630 stages, for a range of applications including use in sensor heads or precision motion of objects in optical and tactile metrology
