Mini Positioning Stage with Ceramic Motor from PI
Auburn, MA — Precision positioning specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a more affordable ver- sion of the M-663 piezo motor posi- tioning stage for new applications where speed, repeatabili- ty and compact dimen- sions are critical, but nanometer resolution is not required. The M-663 minia-
¸ RoHS
ture positioner is based on an unusual design concept. In the size of a matchbox, it integrates a high-speed ceramic lin- ear motor, a precision guiding system and an optical linear encoder. Previously only available with a 100 nanometer type encoder, the new model targets applica- tions with micron level precision. This is suffi- cient for many applica- tions in bio-technology, medical design and for the adjustment and assembly of small mechanical components. Providing a travel range of
18mm, and acceleration of several G’s along with a very wide velocity range from microns/sec to 10inches/ sec, the M-663 is a truly versatile miniature positioning system. A significant benefit of the
ceramic linear motor is its self-lock- ing property, once a position has
been reached. There is neither power required to hold a position nor heat generated resulting in excellent posi- tional long term stability. Piezo ceramic motors are also not affected

by magnetic fields and can be used, for example, in MRI equipment or high-energy physics experiments. Vacuum compatible versions are also available.
