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.

Nanometer precision and high feed force with PiezoWalk® walking drives

In the PiezoWalk® walking drive, several piezo actuators do a walking motion that leads to a forward feed of a runner. Control of the actuators allows the smallest step and forward feed motion at a resolution of well under one nanometer.

Highly accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder

Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position directly at the platform with the greatest accuracy. Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.
