Outstanding lifetime due to PICMA® piezo actuators
The patented PICMA® piezo actuators are all-ceramic insulated. This protects them against humidity and failure resulting from an increase in leakage current. PICMA® actuators offer an up to ten times longer lifetime than conventional polymer-insulated actuators. 1 billion cycles without a single failure are proven.
High guide accuracy due to zero-play flexure guides
Flexure guides are free of maintenance, friction, and wear, and do not require lubrication. Their stiffness allows high load capacity and they are insensitive to shock and vibration. They work in a wide temperature range.
High dynamics multi-axis operation due to parallel kinematics
In a parallel-kinematic multi-axis system, all actuators act on a common platform. The minimum mass inertia and the identical design of all axes allow fast, dynamic, and nevertheless precision motion.
Freely selectable center of rotation for ease of operation
The software makes this very simple: Any point in space can be chosen as the center of rotation around which the platform rotates and tilts. Freely defined, easy to command, solidly anchored in space or to the platform in case of linear displacement. The choice is yours!
