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. 500,000 Z 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 to Control 4.5 mm/s (10 °/s). A position repeatability of 50 nm (50 µ°) Closed Loop tops off the specification of the Industrial Line. Materials & Life Expectancy Large Travel Ranges 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 . 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. Multi Axis Operation Vacuum Compatibility attocube‘s ECS positioners are available in a wide variety of 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..
