The Nano-Drive® Series of controllers are complete electronic packages for sub-nanometer positioning. All Nano-Drive® controllers include low noise, low drift amplifiers, absolute position control, bandwidth selection, and closed loop feedback. Closed loop feedback ensures that the displacement as a function of input voltage is highly linear and free of positioning errors caused by inherent creep and hysteresis in the piezoactuators. All Nano-Drive® models provide standard analog control inputs (0-10V) via front panel BNC’s. Optional 16-bit or 20-bit USB 2.0 digital control interfaces may also be included to provide true “Plug & Play” connectivity. Both single and multi-axis versions of the Nano-Drive® allow the user to switch select a reduced system bandwidth - providing an extra margin of stability for high load setups. Front panel output BNC’s provide access to the real-time position sensor signal and the actuator drive signal (HV/10). The standard analog position command signal is configured for a 0-10V input with other ranges available upon request (see options). The AR-10 option (-10V to +10V command signal) is compatible with Veeco Bioscope/Nanoscope IV controllers when interfaced to a breakout box (see options). The Nano-Drive® is also available in circuit board form for OEM or custom applications.
