summary PZ series
The z-axis translation stages or piezo stages series PZ are especially made for high-resolution and high-precision movement in z-axis. These units offer a travel range from 8 microns up to 400 microns with sub-nanometer accuracy in z-direction. Optical components, tools and similar systems can be adapted at these flexure hinge systems and they can be moved with high dynamic range. The stages series PZ comes with a top and bottom plate in "stage" design. The series PZ OEM and PZ D12 are especially made for easy integration into customers setups, and therefore without top and bottom plate.
The z-axis positioners (series PZ) are ideally suited for nm-precise positioning of optic components such as mirrors and laser diodes, for adjustment and mounting in semi-conductor technologies and electronics, for applications in measurement technologies and quality assurance, as well as for microbiology.
As mentioned above, these elements are available in OEM version and special vacuum, and low temperature configurations.
To achieve very accurate repeatability or to avoid effects like drift and hysteresis, optionally, they can be equipped with strain gauge or capacitive position sensors - depending on the system configuration.
