Technical details
Trusted by numerous industry leaders
Piezo XY stage | 'XWS'
The XWS is a precise, high-speed XY stage driven by two ultrasonic piezo motors. This allows for fast positioning with submicron 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.
