Hybrid Linear Positioning Stage, Ultra High Precision by PI, www.pi.ws
POSTED 06/11/2019
Hybrid actuation based on a combination of piezo (or voice coil) and motorized / ballscrew drives overcomes the limitations of each of these technologies. The result is long-travel, ultra-smooth, high resolution motion, with exceptional tracking accuracy. 1 nanometer tracking accuracy of a moving position target has been achieved.
