S-331 High-Speed Tip/Tilt Platform

Short Settling Time and High Dynamic Linearity

  • Tip/tilt angle up to 5 mrad, optical deflection angle up to 10 mrad (0.57°)
  • High resonant frequencies to 10 kHz(0.5" mirror) for dynamic motion and fast step-and-settle
  • Parallel-kinematic design for identically high performance characteristics for both tip/tilt axes
  • Position sensors for high linearity
  • For mirrors up to Ø 12.7 mm (0.5")

Outstanding lifetime due to PICMA

The PICMA® piezo actuators are all-ceramic insulated. This protects them against humidity and failure resulting from an increase in leakage current. PICMA® actuators offer an up to ten times longer lifetime than conventional polymer-insulated actuators. 100 billion cycles without a single failure are proven.

High guide accuracy due to zero-play flexure guides

Flexure guides are free of maintenance, friction, and wear, and do not require lubrication. Their stiffness allows high load capacity and they are insensitive to shock and vibration. They work in a wide temperature range.

High dynamics multi-axis operation due to parallel kinematics

In a parallel-kinematic multi-axis system, all actuators act on a common platform. The minimum mass inertia and the identical design of all axes allow fast, dynamic, and nevertheless precision motion.
