Highly dynamic piezo tip/tilt platform; 35 mrad × 35 mrad rotational angle (θX × θY); SGS, direct position measuring; 37-pole D-sub (m); 2 m cable length
S-335 Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform
Beam Steering with Very Large Deflection Angles for Mirrors and Optics
- Tip/tilt angle up to 35 mrad, high optical deflection angle up to 70 mrad (4°)
- Resonant frequencies to 0.7 kHz (1" mirror) for dynamic motion and fast step-and-settle
- Parallel-kinematic design: Two orthogonal tip/tilt axes with one common pivot point
- Strain sensors for high linearity
- Different variants available: without mirror, ½" mirror, 1" mirror

System frequency response with different E-727 controllers and mirror sizes The differences in performance of the E-727 controller variant and the difference in mirror masses (1/2" or 1" mirror) significantly influence the system's dynamic properties. E-727.3SD: 35 mrad, tuning optimized for 20 Hz. E-727.3SDAP: 35 mrad, tuning optimized for 100 Hz.

Outstanding lifetime due to PICMA® piezo actuators
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.

* Quasistatic motion at 0 to 120 V
The system resolution is only limited by the noise from the amplifier and the measurement technology because PI piezo nanopositioning systems function without friction.
At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.

Technology

PICMA® Technology
Highly reliable and extended lifetime through the patented manufacturing process for multilayer actuators.

Flexure Guiding Systems
Flexure guides from PI have proven their worth in nanopositioning. They guide the piezo actuator and ensure a straight motion without tilting or lateral offset.

Digital Motion Controllers
Digital technology opens up possibilities for improving performance in control engineering which do not exist with conventional analog technology.

Piezo Positioning Systems with Parallel Kinematics
In a parallel-kinematic, multi-axis system, all actuators act directly on a single moving platform.
