Nano-MET2 |
|||||||||||
Ideal for applications in High-speed and High-resolution positioning, Metrology, AFM and SPM |
|||||||||||
The Nano-MET2 is an ultra-low noise, high-precision XY nanopositioning system with picometre positioning resolution. Internal position sensors utilising proprietary PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement under closed loop control. The ultra-low position noise (4 pm/Hz in XY and 400 fm/Hzv in Z) of these nanopositioning systems make them ideal for demanding metrology applications. Related products include the Nano-MET3, Nano-METZ, Nano-MET10 and Nano-MET20 nanopositioning systems.

Nano-HS |
|||||||||||
Ideal for applications in Precision Positioning, Metrology, AFM and SPM |
|||||||||||
The Nano-HS Series is a high-speed, multi-axis, precision nanopositioning system with picometre positioning resolution. Offering maximum versatility, the Nano-HS can be configured to provide XY or XYZ motion. Internal position sensors utilising proprietary PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement under closed loop control. The compact footprint, ultra-low noise characteristics, and a Z-axis resonant frequency of 5 kHz make it ideal for metrology applications that require noise floors less than 10 picometres and/or high speed performance.
