Custom Solutions

From simple modifications of existing designs to completely custom projects, Mad City Labs’ engineering team has the capability to quickly provide unique piezo nanopositioning systems for specialized requirements. In-house research scientists with extensive experience in UHV instrumentation, optical spectroscopy, and nanotechnology can provide the real-world advice and assistance to move a project from concept to reality. Generally, this work is done without NRE charges and without any requirements for multiple unit orders. Whether you need a special physical configuration, expanded or reduced range of motion, compatibility with environmental conditions, or special materials, a short discussion with our technical sales staff and engineers will quickly reveal the feasibility of a custom solution.

Design Parameters

OEM Systems

Mad City Labs has proven expertise in designing and producing custom piezo nanopositioning systems for integration into a wide variety of technical products. In-house design physicists with extensive technical instrumentation experience combined with in-house CNC machining and assembly allow Mad City Labs to go from concept to first prototype in approximately 30 days. In some situations, custom firmware and dll’s developed by Mad City Labs’ programming staff can speed up final product development by incorporating special motion profiles into the OEM Nano-Drive® controller. Although this catalog gives an overview of the types of nanopositioning systems commonly produced by Mad City Labs - please keep in mind that 50% or more of our production is dedicated to OEM designs which are sold under other company names and are not shown on our catalog pages. Whether you have an annual requirement for hundreds of systems or only ten, Mad City Labs can provide a prompt quotation and immediate help with custom piezo nanopositioners designed to fit the application.
