New PI Brochure: Miniature Opto-Mechanical Actuators

Instrumente) LP has released its newest catalog on high-precision miniaturized opto-mechanical piezo- motor actuators, dubbed the PiezoMike family. The PI Group offers a wide range of standard and vacuum compatible positioning prod- ucts, in addition to custom engi- neered solutions. Building upon decades of expe-
rience with motion control and nanopositioning, the new N-472 closed-loop PiezoMike actuator adds position feedback in a compact pack- age, very similar to its N-470, open- loop sibling. Both actuators are based on a screw and ratchet mecha- nism, where a small piezo ceramic block performs the individual “clicks” based on the input to a controller. Step size and frequency are
variable and allow the user to control the desired speed and positioning resolution. The position sensor reso- lution of the new N-472 actuator is below one nanometer. PiezoMike products simplify the automated adjustment of mechanical and opto- mechanical components. Motion ranges from 7.5 to 26mm are stan-
dard, as well as vacuum capability. The advantage of the piezo

ratchet design is a very high stiffness and blocking force of 100N (22 lbs). Once a position is reached, the actu- ator is vibration-proof, shock-resist- ant and long-term stable, with no
position drift or jitter. Contact: PI (Physik

DecaWave Locator Chip Gets High Marks
Dublin, Ireland — DecaWave’s pre- cise indoor location and communica- tion CMOS chip, the DW1000, was used by several companies in the recent competition to win the overall infrastructure-based category for the 2015 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition. The DW1000 chip, which is an
IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant wireless transceiver, will

cations, up to 6.8Mb/s. This com- bined capability makes it a perfect fit to answer the “What, When, Where” questions essential to the deploy- ment of the Internet of Things. Due to its excellent communications range of up to 290 m in Line of Sight and up to 35m in Non Line of Sight, it also reduces the system cost by reducing the need for infrastructure. The competition was an important milestone for the company’s ultra- wideband (UWB) technology ranked as the best radio-based location solu-
