Our high precision positioners are used in many experiments in the chemistry. They achieve highest positioning accuracy up to the range of some nanometers as well as extremely uniform movements with the multi-phase drive DSP 50. Optical sensors are detecting optionally the movements and are allowing repeatability in the range of some nanometers.
Hereby this piezo inertial drives are the ideal components for micro-/nano-indent-applications as well as for experiments in nano tribology.
For example our smallest positioner MS15 is as an xyz combination used in various indenters.

Our high precision positioners and actors are used in many optical, contactless experiments in the physics as well as in applications for the

These piezo inertial drives are used in many fields of industry, in which parts have to positioned in the range of sub µm range.
For example the micro positionerMS30 is used in many industrial lasers in positioning of optics – even in the cavity of the lasers.
综合计量系统分辨率特性the nanometer and sub-nanometer range for closed-loop operation with USB-controllers are used in semiconductor industry.
Furthermore the ultra-compact micro positioners MS15 are used in SEM microscopes both for the movement of the probe and the rough positioning of the probe tip.
Recent advances in biotechnology and related sciences have increased the need for high-speed, high precision positioning systems. Please read on for a few examples.
Our piezo actuators for long travels can be used to precisely focus a microscope objective over up to 30 mm, and they can also help to sort cells rapidly. Drug screening applications demand nanoliter dispensing capabilities, yet another application where the precision and extreme lifetime of mechOnics piezo actuators.
The scanning optical microscope — one of the cutting-edge tools for DNA research — is not feasible without piezo positioning systems.
Especially combinations from our micro positioning stage MS30 together with the linear measuring system PS30 offers you the possibility to reach repeatabilities better than 50 nm.
Moore's Law keeps compressing IC line widths and feature-sizes. In order to keep up, nanopositioning mechanisms and precision motion control systems embedded in front-end production and metrology tools must provide 10 to 1000x higher precision than feature size. Conventional positioning systems do not provide the required stability and precision.
mechOnics offers a wide variety of piezo based solutions: from the very compact miniature positioner MS15 to the ultra-high-performance long-travel nanopositioning piezo stages MS30.
Other precision motion products include the piezo tilt platform MT25 for beam stabilization / correction.
Optical nanometrology sensors of the series PS30 measure the motion down to the nanometer range with very high bandwidth.
Piezo positioning systems are fundamental tools for nanotechnology applications. Their extreme precision makes them vital components in applications such as nanoimprint, nanoassembly, nano-data storage and nanofabrication.
In addition to micro positioners with long travel ranges mechonics also designs advanced piezo controllers that provide very high bandwidth to drive also multi-phase actuators as the DSP50.
Piezo actuators of mechOnics provide very long travel ranges and require little to no power in quasistatic applications. This performs these actuators for the work in a vacuum – conditions which can be found in space applications or at many new experiments for physics.
All our stages are available for vacuum from 10-6mbar to 10-9mbar. In collaboration with our customers also positioners were designed to work up to 10-11mbar.
Piezo actuators of mechOnics provide very long travel ranges and require little to no power in quasistatic applications. This performs these actuators for the work

Also many new experiments for physics where our micro positioners are used can be done at Helium temperature (4K) to avoid Brownian motion.
In optical experiments our piezo inertial drives can be used in the following applications.
On the one hand you can adjust optical elements with the linear positioning stage MS38 which offers you a free aperture of 10 mm over the complete travel range of 8 mm.
On the other hand you can use the piezo tilt platform MT25 in an optical path to adjust the beam in two orthogonal axes very accurate. The fee optical aperture of the MT25 offers you the possibility to use transmitting optics.
