SP Mini-500 Compact Sample Positioner/Scanner

The SP-MINI-500 is an ultra-compact, long-range piezo stage which moves 500μm in closed loop. Its small footprint is ideal for easy integration within instrumentation or test equipment. The built-in capacitive positioning sensors enable ultra-high speed performance and low nanometer-level repeatability.

The stage has very low error motions, maintaining a very flat platform over its full 500μm travel range. This allows the sample holder to be offset, improving access to the sample whilst maintaining high performance positioning. Sample holders and stage mountings can be customized to suit a wide range of applications from microscopy, to hard disk testing and semiconductor inspection.

Suggested controllers:

  • NPC-D-6110
