Product Description |
The Nano-SP30 integrates single axis micropositioning
and high resolution nanopositioning into a compact unit
which is compatible with optical tables and standard
mounting accessories. Stepper motor driven coarse positioning
over 25mm can produce a minimum step size of
95nm. A high resolution linear encoder incorporated into
the coarse positioning stage continuously monitors positions
down to 20nm. Nanopositioning over 30 microns
provides the ultimate positioning resolution of 60 picometers
with the stability of the proprietary PicoQ™ position
feedback sensors. Samples and probes can be mounted
on the end of the nanopositioner (see the round disk in
photo) or on the top face. A special Nano-Drive™SP30
closed loop controller accepts feedback from external
sensors (such as force sensors) as well as standard feedback
from the nanopositioner’s internal position sensors.
Seamlessly switching between feedback signals gives an
unusual versatility to this unique system. The USB digital
interface provides direct PC control of the micropositioner
and nanopositioner as well as access to the linear
encoder, position sensor, and external sensor readings.
