Piezo Controller System is available with 3 or 6 axes.

May 15, 2008 - Modular Digital Piezo Controller System E-712 offers up to 50 kHz sensor update rate. It includes 20-bit D/A converters enabling subnanometer position resolution over travel ranges of over 1,000 µm. Featuring real-time OS, it offers auto-calibration and remote control via TCP/IP interface. Software-tunable proportional-integral digital servo with 2 notch filters allows operation of piezomechanics close to resonant frequency. USB, RS-232, and Ethernet interfaces are included.

E-712 - Modular Digital Piezo Controller System, 3 & 6 Axis

High-Speed Processor; up to 50 kHz Sensor Update Rate; Highly Stable 20-bit D/A Converters
Real-Time Operating System for Excellent Trajectory Control
Modular Design for Greatest Flexibility in Meeting Custom Requirements
Auto-Calibrating from Stage ID-Chip for Interchangeability of Controller and Mechanics w/o Recalibration
Flexible Interfacing: USB, RS-232 & Ethernet
Optional High-Bandwidth Analog Inputs and Outputs

The new, E-712 multi-axis piezo-controller picks up where the successful E-710 left off. It features a faster processor, a real time operating system and significantly higher servo update and sensor sampling rates to provide extremely precise coordinated motion in up to 6 degrees of freedom with nanometer precision.

Additional advantages:

Available high-power amplifier modules, to supplement the integrated amplifiers for high-frequency scanning / tracking applications
Software tunable proportional-integral digital servo with 2 notch filters allow operation of the piezomechanics closer to its resonant frequency.
Remote control through the internet possible via TCP/IP interface
20-bit D/A converters make possible sub-nanometer position resolution, even over long travel ranges of >1000 µm, like those of the new P-629 PIHera® piezo nanopositioning stages
Optional Digital Dynamic Linearization, ensures that tracking errors are reduced to the nanometer level even in high-dynamics scanning applications.
Internal coordinate transformation for parallel-kinematics systems, user friendly position commands in Cartesian coordinates

The E-712 digital piezo controller provides ultra precise motion in up to 6 axes
