PXY 200

PXY 200 – Description

The PXY 200 uses solid state hinges in a parallelogram construction to provide parallel motion without mechanical play in the X and Y directions. This design result in high resolution which far surpasses the resolution of mechanical and electromechanical positioning systems.

The piezo positioner PXY 200 series can be easily mounted to other positioning systems and can be equipped with a strain gauge measurement system that overcomes the effect of hysteresis.

Dynamic operation is possible due to the piezo elements which are well suited for solving scanning problems.

PXY 102

PXY 102 – Description

The PXY 102 piezo stage is compact and offer motions of up to 100 µm in open-loop in X and Y axes. The unique cube-like mechanical design allows parallel motion without play. It is well suited for many applications reaching from optical research to OEM systems. Probe alignment in microscopes usually requires an open center space for the passage of light. The PXY 102 with it’s central aperture of 40 mm was developed considering this application.

High stiffness, in combination with excellent straightness of motion, makes the PXY 102 ideal for high precision in the nanometer range for optics, laser technique, and any other types of high resolution positioning applications.

Piezoelectric actuators can work much faster and with a higher accuracy to a signal change, than motorized drives. Each axis can be controlled separately in closed-loop mode. An integrated sensor system is an available option that guarantees accuracy in the nanometer range.

The simultaneous motion in XY directions offers a large degree of freedom during use. The PXY 102 can be made with special materials for extraordinary applications such as working in a vacuum or cryogenic environment.

PXY 38

PXY 38 – Description

The 2-axis PXY 38 was developed especially for optical scanning applications. It is optimized for a high resonant frequency and a high stiffness in all axes.

Originally designed for mounting optical lenses, this piezo XY positioner delivers fast and precise movement of mechanical parts. 

The internal pre-load and the design (without mechanical transmission) make this actuator well suited for high frequency applications – up to the kilohertz range.
