October 5, 2016 – The P-616 NanoCube XYZ piezo scanner is a redesign of PI’s successful P-611, 3D positioning stage. Now based on a parallel-kinematic design, with one moving platform for all 3 axes, higher precision and dynamics are available. As a miniature multi-axis stage, the P-616 NanoCube is a system with capacitive feedback delivering 100µm travel range.

The positioner is operated with PI’s E-727 digital servo piezo controller. A software package is included: drivers for LabVIEW, dynamic libraries for Windows and Linux, MATLAB. Interfaces consist of USB, SPI, RS-232, and analog. Supported functions include Wave generator, data recorder, auto zero, and trigger I/O.

The XYZ stage is driven by ceramic-encapsulated, preloaded PICMA piezo actuators. In reliability tests carried out by NASA/JPL for the Mars Mission, the actuators survived 100 billion cycles without failures.
