High Performance Piezo Flexure Scanners
An increasing range of applications – such as image sensor interpolation or stabilization - require small to medium range sample positioning at high bandwidth / frequency . Due to our extensive engineering knowledge , we are capable to satisfy many of these requirements based on our piezo flexure technology : We put special focus to miniature designs with superior stiffness , which we develop by rapid prototyping using our finite element method ( FEM ) and electron-discharge milling ( EDM ) equipment .
Choices involve :
• one to three degrees of freedom
• linear , goniometric , or rotational actuation
• custom-tailored physical dimensions , stroke , payload
• advanced sensors and electronics
• customized payload
• simulated & verified dynamic performance
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• highly dynamic image interpolation for image sensors ( typ . near to mid IR )
• image stabilization , widely applied from VIS to IR spectral range
