PI Brochure: Miniature Linear Stages with Servo, Stepper, Voice-Coil and Piezo Motors

PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. -- a leading manufacturer of ultra-precision motion-control and sensing equipment for bio / nanotechnology, photonics, semiconductor and life science applications -- offers a new brochure on Precision Miniature Linear Translation Stages

The brochure presents a variety of compact and sub-compact positioning stages, featuring sub-micron to sub-nanometer precision and closed-loop position feedback with linear encoders and capacitive gauges.

Systems range from ballscrew-driven, palm-top sized stages with servo & stepper motors to thumbnail-sized piezo-motor driven stages for high-volume applications. High-speed stages are available with voice-coil motors, ultrasonic motors and piezo flexure drives. Non-magnetic and vacuum compatible versions are available as well.

These precision stages are designed for applications in fields such as:

Test & Measurement

Optics & Photonics

Biotechnology

Aerospace

Semiconductor Metrology

Precision Motion Control

Microscopy
