6-Axis Nanopositioning Stages, Multi-Axis Stages

• PiezoWalk Motor Drives
• Travel Ranges 10 mm Linear, 6° Rotation
• 202 mm (8") Clear Aperture
• Non-Magnetic
• Nanometer Resolution
• Low-Profile: 140 mm Height Only
• Parallel Kinematics for Enhanced Dynamics and Better Multi-Axis Accuracy

This non-magnetic 6-axis positioner combines the advantages of the parallel-kinematic hexapod approach with the precision and stiffness of the NEXLINE® piezowalk linear motors. It can handle large loads and automatically locks the position when powered off. The piezo drives do not exhibit magnetic fields and at the same time are not affected by magnetic or electric fields.

The 6-Axis PIMars piezo flexure stage is one of the most advanced nanopositioning systems in the world. Its parallel-kinematic design, where all piezo flexure drives act on the same moving platform, and sophisticated digital control algorithms (see E-712 digital piezo controller) make it possible to achieve highly precise coordinated motion in all degrees of freedom, with straightness & flatness in the low nanometer range..

Custom systems with larger travel ranges or faster response are available on request
