UHV option is ideal for applications in semiconductor and
beamline research. The compact design facilitates the integration
of the new N-332 linear positioner.
AUBURN,
Mass., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PI's
new N-332 nanometer-precision linear stage family, configurable to
multi-axis setups of XY, XZ and XYZ, is designed for high-end
applications in semiconductor technology, fiber-optics, microscopy,
bio-nanotechnology, metrology and scientific research in beamlines
and laser labs. The stages have a low profile of 30mm and a small
footprint of 80x110mm an 80x160mm with travel ranges of 1" and 2",
respectively.
No Brake or Counterbalance Required
Due to the high active force of 75N and power-off passive holding
force of 80N, the N-332 nanopositioning stage does not require a
brake or counterbalance when operated in vertical orientation.
UHV-Option
For demanding applications that require operation in high vacuum,
N-332 stages are available in configurations suitable for pressures
down to 10-9 hPa. The self-clamping nature of the piezo motor
allows the stage to hold a position without heat generation.
PICMA-Walk Technology – High Force and High Resolution
The PICMA-Walk piezo motor inside the N-332 stage is based on 4
pairs of PI's proprietary PICMA® piezo actuators, arranged in a V8
configuration. PICMA® piezo actuators were successfully tested for
100 billion cycles by NASA/JPL before being used on the Mars
Rover's instrumentation lab. PICMA-Walk motors provide high force
linear motion to 75N and are capable of sub-nanometer resolution
and self-locking when de-energized – a great advantage for
applications where a stable position must be maintained without
power, heat generation or servo jitter.
