Nanopositioning Piezo Flexure Stages from DYNEOS AG

Dyneos distributes Nanopositioning Piezo Flexure Stages from the market leader Physik Instrumente (PI). PI’s multi-axis piezo flexure stages allow positioning and scanning with sub-nanometer precision in up to 6 axes, including tip, tilt and yaw motion. They have a supreme lifetime thanks to PICMA^® Piezoactuators. Piezo flexure stages and objective scanners of the PIFOC® and PInano® series offer high dynamics in positioning and scanning tasks. Well adapted solutions for XY specimen positioning parallel and vertical to the optical axis and Z focusing of the objective are available as standard products. Stages are also available conveniently in a system together with controller and all required connecting cables and software. Like all piezo systems, microscopy stages and scanners are delivered precalibrated with measurement log.

Linear piezo stages with PICMA® piezo actuator drive and flexure guidings are available for travel ranges up to 1.5mm. High-precision 2-axis nanopositioning systems integrate PICMA® piezo actuators for maximum reliability. Repeatable, drift-free positioning with optimal stability is possible by the use of high-quality nanometrology sensors. 2-Axis piezo scanners for small loads are frequently used for scanning and tracking processes. Their rapid step-and-settle motions improve the resolution of optical systems. These include imaging processes in camera technology and image recognition, for example for biometrics or document archiving. The high stiffness of piezo flexure mirror platforms allows for high dynamics and excellent position stability. The compact devices are frequently used for beam deflection in laser processing and laser steering. Their parallel-kinematic design creates identical performance in tip and tilt axis, with a common fixed pivot point and no change of polarization direction.
