Piezoelectric Positioners offer Precise Control in Nanopositioning Applications

February 12, 2014 By Motion Control Tips Editor Leave a Comment

miniaturized-hexapod-nanopositioning-system

By Stefan Vorndran and Scott Jordan, PI, Physik Instrumente L.P. Ever-increasing requirements for more precise motion control has forced manufacturers of piezoelectric positioners to find ways to overcome their limitations, such as travel range and linearity, while preserving the unmatched speed, reliability and resolution capabilities of piezoelectric devices. Precision motion control in general, and nanopositioning […]
