Micromech introduces the RTP Precision Piezo Stages

This is a complete solution in one product and is powered by PiezoMotion and includes a Renishaw optical encoder. The standard product line has 3 sizes; each 3 have different stroke lengths. RTP Stages table parts are made out of Aluminium and the linear bearings of standard bearing steel with crossed rollers for higher stiffness. Available as options are higher accuracy grades, non-magnetic and high-vacuum compatible solutions, also drivers and software are provided, configured to suit the application.

The RTP can support loads and moments in all directions and even customised print or to customers specifications can be opted for. They are designed with PiezoMotor legs making them highly suitable for nano-positioning. There are stroke lengths from 10 up to 100mm with other sizes on request, and options also include multiple axis configurations of XY-XYZ. These high accuracy stages have resolution from 10µm – 5nm, straightness/flatness is 0.5 to 2µm and pitch/yaw <10µm, and in addition there are non-magnetic stages and special drivers.

These stages are ideal for moving high precision components which need to be handled with great care and as a further option can be packaged for clean room operation.
