Nano-SP30

The Nano-SP30 is a single axis integrated positioning system suitable for nano-indentation and nano-manipulation applications. The Nano-SP30 offers a total travel range of 25mm with better than 0.1nm resolution in fine control mode. The ultra high resolution is achieved via our proprietary PicoQ sensors and closed loop control. The Nano-SP30 can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is compatible with most optical fixturing. The Nano-SP30 system is equipped with real time (internal) sensor read back as well as the ability to accept feedback from external sensors, such as force sensors, giving the user unparalleled versatility for demanding nano-metrology applications.

Nano-HS Series

The new Nano-HS series nanopositioners offer extreme speed and precision in a compact footprint. With a position noise floor of less than 2 picometers, the Nano-HS is ideal for demanding surface metrology applications. Excellent position step response stability results from the high mechanical resonant frequency and our proprietary PicoQ sensor technology. The Nano-HS series is available in 2 and 3 axis configurations with displacements of 10 microns per axis.
