Based on miniaturized ceramic inertia drive that provides holding force of 10 Nm, miCos LPS-45 positions samples along precisely guided path with distances up to 1 in. Position of moving platform is measured by optical linear encoder with 2 nm resolution and controlled in closed-loop operation by electronic motion controller. Featuring 15 mm low profile design, stage is available in several versions for applications in air, vacuum, and non-magnetic environments.
