Premium Line
Nano Drives for Research
The great success of attocube’s Premium Line positioners is based
on the unique combination of a patented driving technology, the
powerful design, the selection of high quality materials, and the long
experience of the attocube staff. Premium Line positioners allow for
reliable motion over centimeter ranges with the highest precision under
extreme environmental conditions such as cryogenic temperatures, high
magnetic fields, and ultra high vacuum.
Extreme
The Premium Line portfolio comprises linear, rotary, and goniometric
positioners and scanners – many of them with integrated position
sensors for closed loop operation. Depending on the requirements,
different sizes, travel ranges, and encoder options are available.
The innovative design enables the assembling of several stages to
positioning units with up to six degrees of freedom.
Extreme Environments Large Travel Ranges in Extreme Environments
The non-magnetic Premium Line nano drives meet the challenge
of nanoprecise positioning systems working reliable under
extreme environmental conditions. Suitable models are
available for cryogenic temperatures, high and ultra high
vacuum, as well as high magnetic fields. Positioners of the Premium Line take advantage of attocube‘s
patented inertial drive technology which is dedicated for the
use in extreme working environments. Controllable motion
over centimeter ranges with small and reproducible steps of
a few tens of nanometers can also be achieved in cryogenic
environments, where PZT piezo ceramics are usually limited to
scanning ranges of only a few microns.
Closed Loop Control Multi Axis Operation
Exact and repeatable positioning in absolute and relative terms
is an easy task for all Premium Line positioners with implemented
encoders. Depending on the positioner type and model, up to
