 Back to Overview |
| Ultrasonic-Piezomotor equipped Microscope stages are self-locking at rest and provide better long-term stability than conventional lead-screw driven stages (drift caused by viscous flow in the lubricants). They are also significantly more compact and elegant due to the lack of screws and bulky motors.
Ultrasonic motors provide a very large dynamics range from microns/second to 100+ mm/second with extremely smooth motion. The stiff piezo drives allow for significantly faster step & settle than conventional stepper motor or linear motor stages. PI also offers manual stages. Both versions are compatible with the fast piezo nanopositioning stages. |
