Solid state hinges in parallelogram construction provide parallel motion without mechanical play in the x and y directions. These construction principles result in a very high resolution which far surpasses the resolution of mechanical and electromechanical positioning systems.

The nano positioners PXY 100 series can be easily mounted to other positioning systems and can be equipped with measurement devices (strain gauge) that overcome the effect of hysteresis. A cryo version - the PXY 100 Cryo - is also available and on request, the PXY 100 can be modified to operate in vaccum conditions.

Dynamic operation is possible. The nano positioners PXY 100 are very well suited for solving scanning problems.
