Axis of motion and stage design are important requirements when choosing a system that fits a certain application. First, consider what planes of movement are most important. Nanopositioning systems have X, Z, XY, XYZ, and tip/tilt motion associated. Next, determine what travel range (see previous post for more on Travel Range)...
Travel range is the maximum distance a piezo stage can move in a single axis. Current flexure stage design can provide travel ranges of up to 2mm in a single plane and 10s of mradians of tip/tilt motion. There are often two specifications you will see when comparing stages: open-loop...
Things to Consider When Acquiring a Nanopositioning System
There are many factors to consider when looking for nanopositioning piezo stages. The following series of articles will help explain some items that are important when looking at different stages and systems. Those who are new to the world of nanopositioning, please contact us with any additional questions. There are...
