The NTS NanoDirect Series with up to 100mm Travel
NTS NanoDirect describes a series of novel long-travel distance
piezoelectric linear nanopositioning systems that bring together a
combination of exceptional quality and unique design features. Each
system comprises of a precisely engineered nanopositioning stage (the
NTS series) and a technologically advanced digital signal processor (DSP)
controller (the NanoDirect).
Modern Design Architecture Unmatched Performance
NTS stages combine an unprecedented design resolution of less
than 1 nm with exceptional long-travel range: 10 mm, 25 mm and 100 mm (Models
NTS10, NTS25 and NTS100). Unlike traditional motorized
nanopositioning stages, which rely on DC servo or stepper motor
technology, the NTS stages incorporate a proprietary non-electromagnetic
piezoelectric rotary motor under direct DSP control.
Key benefits of the NTS NanoDirect
-
Simultaneous nanometer resolution and long travel distance, made
possible by patented piezoelectric rotary motor
-
Low-voltage design (entire system uses a single 12 Volt DC adapter, or
optional rechargeable battery pack) eliminates the need for a
high-voltage amplifier and provides system portability
-
Combined close-loop and open-loop operating modes
-
Exceptional long-term stability (less than 2 nm/hr @ 20șC)
-
Auto self-locking when system is de-energized
-
Wide dynamic velocity range (5nm/sec to 500
mm/sec)
-
High load capacity (up to 10 kg)
-
High push/pull force (up to 50 N)
-
Multi-channel DSP controller (controls up to 3 stages at a time,
see configurations)
-
No heat dissipation in steady-state mode allows use in vacuum
applications
