PXY D12 Scanner 2-Axis Board

The piezo-positive elements of the PXY D12 scanner series have been developed for STM and AFM applications. 

These nano-positioners are optimized for high resonance frequencies and have high rigidity in both axes. The design is designed to achieve the best results in a conventional line scanning application, requiring fast and accurate moving and positioning of lines. 

In particular, the short installation time after a jump or change of position was a key point in the design and development of these products. Piezoelectric electrical actuators and piezomechanical stages are well known for their high-resolution motion and long-term positioning stability. 

For special applications, the nano-positioner can be optimized for minimal deviation in z direction while moving in x and y directions (see S-605-30). 

The optional piezoelectric elements PZ 8 D12 and PZ 20 D12 complement the PXY D12 with a movement of 8 μm or 20 μm in the z-direction respectively. These stages can be equipped with a positioning feedback sensor for closed loop control. Vacuum and cryogenic versions are also available.
