Features
Motorize Your Existing Manual Stages
The NanoPZ is compatible with a wide array of Newport manual stages including GON Series goniometers, and ULTRAlign™ Series of linear stages.
561D-XYZ ULTRAlign™ precision linear stage equipped with PZA12 actuators.
Motorize an Optical Mount
The NanoPZ is compatible with ULTIMA® Series optical mounts.
PZC200 Motion Controller
The PZC200 controller and driver provides convenient and ergonomic one hand speed control for a single NanoPZ actuator. When used with the PZC-SB switchbox, a single PZC200 controller can be used to control up to 8 NanoPZ actuators.
PZC-SB Controller Switchbox
The PZC-SB switchbox allows control of up to 8 NanoPZ actuators from the same PZC200 controller.
Ultra-High Linear Resolution
The NanoPZ's innovative piezo micro stepping motor ensures 30 nm incremental motion capabilities with no loss of position when power is removed.
High Load Capacity
With a significant load capacity of 50 N, the NanoPZ is an ideal solution for motorizing a wide variety stages, mounts, and custom systems.
High Speed
The NanoPZ actuator's maximum speed of 0.2 mm/sec allows you to make quick adjustments.
Non-Rotating Tip
The NanoPZ features a non-rotating tip which prevents contact surface wear and allows for direct load attachments.
