Product Description |
The Nano-P Series are piezo actuated, closed loop, linear translators that incorporate a unique flexure hinge design. The flexure hinge is machined entirely from a single block of high strength titanium using an advanced electrical discharge machining process. This hinge, available for the first time on a tubular nanopositioner, ensures the highest degree of repeatability and load capability. Unlike similar looking products on the market, the Nano-P Series does not have internal Belleville springs. Belleville springs are not frictionless and therefore cannot provide the high degree of repeatability of a true nanopositioner. The guiding mechanism of the Nano-P Series is a true flexure spring - eliminating mechanical friction and stiction. The Nano-P Series is constructed from invar and titanium for the best combination of thermal stability and mechanical strength, making it ideal for the most demanding positioning and metrology applications. The Nano-P Series is available in three standard ranges of motion with integrated position sensors utilizing proprietary PicoQ™ technology to provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with picometer accuracy under closed loop control. Custom systems available.

Test Data - Nano-P35 |
The Nano-P35 closed-loop response to a 3nm peak-to-peak square wave input signal, measured with USB digital interface. Notice the ultra-low, sub-nanometer stability of the system over the time scale. Similar products offered by other companies are unable to achieve such low-noise results. The Nano-P uses a true flexure guiding mechanism and low-noise sensors to achieve high-resolution positioning. |
