hysik Instrument‘s range of highprecision stages
– the NanoCube P-611 XYZ nanopositioning
systems – prove their ability time and again in new fields of application. The cube sides measure a mere 44mm, making it suitable for travel ranges up to 100 x 100 x 100μm and easy to integrate. The stages are driven by piezo actuators and achieve resolutions of up to 0.2nm at response times in the millisecond range. The basic (openloop) model is designed for high-resolution positioning where the absolute positi- on is of secondary importance or whose control loop is closed externally. The actuators, guides and sen-
