Technical details

Piezo XY stage | 'XWS'

The Xeryon-Wienecke Stage (XWS) is a precise, high-speed XY stage driven by two ultrasonic piezo motors. This allows for fast positioning with nanometer precision. The self-locking piezo motor holds the position of the stage when it is not powered. As a result, heat dissipation is considerably reduced.

Frequently asked questions

The 'XWS' piezo XY stages offer a unique combination of high speed, precision, long stroke, and durability in compact design, overcoming the limitations of traditional XY stages where trade-offs have to be made (e.g. stroke length, size factor or speed). Xeryon’s XY microscope stages are gearless, self-locking, energy-efficient and operate at low voltages. They don’t produce a magnetic field, are back-driveable, and free from drift or play.
