Nanopositioning controllers are affordable

Nanopositioning specialist PI introduces a new, affordable high-performance, modular controller for piezo-driven nanopositioning systems

The E-621.CR controller boasts high-bandwidth analogue and networkable digital interfaces.

This high-performance controller integrates a low-noise piezo power amplifier, a high-speed servo controller and sensor electronics for absolute-measuring capacitive nanopositioning sensors.

For exceptional position stability and resolution, precision 20-bit A/D and D/A converters are incorporated.

Flexible: one to 12 axis configurations.

The E-621 can be operated as a stand-alone system or plugged into an available chassis with up to 12 slots for multi-axis applications.

The modular design allows for easy and cost-effective expansion by adding one additional channel at a time.

It is best suited for automated applications comprising several independent motion axes, such as XY line scans combined with nanofocusing devices.

Flexible: three different sensor types.

E-621 controllers are available in three versions, supporting piezo positioning systems with strain gauge sensors, inductive sensors and - for the for the most demanding applications - capacitive sensors.

Application examples.

Nanopositioning, scanning and alignment tasks in microscopy, biotechnology, optics, semiconductor technology and photonic packaging.

Features and advantages:.

Flexible and cost-effective: one to 12 channel configurations.

Integrated analogue and 20-bit high-speed interfaces.

Integrated low-noise amplifier / servo controller.

For capacitive, LVDT and strain gauge position sensors.
