Nanopositioning
To achieve the stated goals of high performance nanopositioning systems – long travel, high dynamic performance, high accuracy, high resolution, and easy-to-use software – Aerotech used its considerable experience acquired over 40 years in the field of mechanics, magnetics, electronics, computing, digital control systems, and electromechanical systems engineering to develop a line of products to meet the current and future requirements of the nanotechnology industries.
Aerotech’s unique long-travel nanopositioners are for applications requiring nanometer and sub-arc-second accuracies and are suitable for both laboratory and industrial applications. Our nanopositioning stages include single- and dual-axis linear nanopositioners with 1 nm resolution, ±250 nm accuracy, and travels from 25 mm to 160 mm. Rotary nanopositioners provide 0.01 arc-second resolution, 0.005 arc-second in-position stability, and 360° continuous rotation, while our nanopositioning goniometers offer 0.05 arc-second resolution, a 20° rotation angle, and 150° per second speed. We’ve also developed vertical lift and “Z” axis nanopositioning stages with up to 1 nm resolution, <1 nm in-position stability, and up to 60 mm of travel.
