Industrial Line
Nano Drives for Industry
With the Industrial Line series of positioners , attocube has genuinely combined highest precision piezodrive technology with extremely rugged yet cost effective design . All Industrial Line positioners are dedicated for operation at ambient temperature and at pressures ranging from atmospheric to UHV .
High Loads
Facilitated by their unique piezodrive technology , their stiff mechanical design , and the application of crossed roller bearings , ECS positioners are capable of moving and placing loads of up to several kg on the nanometer scale .
The Industrial Line drive series is precisely engineered for applications where space is frequently constrained while load and torque applied to the positioning units may be significant . This powerful performance is supplemented by the ECC100 drive electronics which enables open and closed loop positioning with 1 nm / 1 µ° position resolution .
Closed Loop Control
In conjunction with the three-axis drive electronics ECC100 , ECS positioners are capable of a closed loop 1 positioning resolution of 1 nm ( 1 µ°) while providing travel velocities of up
Closed Loop to Control 4.5 mm / s ( 10 °/ s ). A position repeatability of 50 nm ( 50 µ°) tops off the specification of the Industrial Line .

Materials & Life Expectancy
For Industrial Line positioners special emphasis was put on both life endurance and cost effective manufacturing . The room temperature optimized drive mechanism , combined with the choice of aluminum or stainless steel as main body material , enables a significant cost reduction compared to positioners of the Premium Line , while achieving a life span about 500,000 cycles 1 .
Large Travel Ranges
Positioners of the ECS series take advantage of a drive mechanism based on attocube ‘ s patented inertial drive technology , modified specifically for applications at ambient temperature where large travel ranges of several centimeters are mandatory .

X Multi Axis
Multi Axis Operation attocube ‘ s ECS positioners are available in a wide variety of designs , sizes , and travel ranges and can be stacked directly on top of each other for multi axis operation .
Vacuum Compatibility
Positioners of the Industrial Line are dedicated for operation at room temperature and pressures ranging from ultra high vacuum to ambient . All stages are either available in anodized Aluminum or stainless steel , satisfying both optical and UHV applications ..
