- Vacuum Option
Based on the high bandwidth of an industrial ACS motion controller with EtherCat interface this system integrates a high speed galvo scanner and linear motor stages. The high performance motion controller virtually increases the field of view and avoids stitching errors.
Introducing the newest additions to the SpaceFAB family of products for scanning and positioning in all 6 Degrees of Freedom: N-865 (left) and Q-845 (right).
3D printing and additive manufacturing are gaining traction in prototyping and industrial manufacturing of complex parts. Typical 3D printers can produce feature sizes down to a few 10 microns. Significantly higher resolution is available with a new laser lithography system. Here the production of complex three-dimensional micro- and nanostructures is based on photosensitive materials. In addition to advanced laser technology, a motion system capable of controlling the focus and 3D position of the sample with nanometer precision within milliseconds is crucial. Piezo-flexure mechanisms, together with powerful digital motion controllers, take care of this aspect.

The newest addition to PI's suite of motion controllers, the cost-effective C-663.12 is designed for 2-phase stepper motors, in open-loop or closed-loop operation commanded by USB or RS-232. Up to 16 units can be combined via daisy chain to operate multi-axis motion systems. The Mercury controller includes a 48-V wide-range-input power supply, and all cables required for operation. Programmable digital and analog I/O lines and input lines for limit and reference point switches controlled via TTL signals are also integrated.
The 80-page catalog covers products and custom engineered systems, including automated photonics alignment engines, linear motor stages, piezo actuators, air bearings, hexapod Stewart platforms, and high performance motion controllers. Creative application solutions complement the existing comprehensive portfolio of precision motion and positioning technologies, components, and systems.
