The Nano-Mini is a flexure-guided nanopositioning stage designed for high-precision applications such as optical fiber alignment and interferometry. It features a compact 1" x 1.5" footprint, a 10 µm range of motion, and 0.02 nm resolution with closed-loop control using proprietary position sensors. Constructed from titanium or invar, it offers a stiffness of 1.0 N/µm and a resonant frequency of 1.5 kHz (unloaded) or 650 Hz with a 50 g load. Maximum recommended loads are 0.5 kg horizontally and 0.15 kg vertically. The stage includes four C-bored holes on a 1.25" x 0.75" pattern and mounts with 2-56 UNC screws. It is compatible with the Nano-Drive® USB controller and supports stackable configurations for XY motion.
The Nano-Mini is one of the smallest flexure guided piezo nanopositioning stages available. Designed for optimum performance on a small footprint, this stage uses an innovative mini-cross section multilayer piezo ceramic which allows for a stiff stage to translate 10 microns with picometer precision. This unique design makes it ideal for applications in precision metrology and microscopy. Internal position sensors utilizing proprietary PicoQ® technology provide absolute, repeatable position measurement with picometer accuracy under closed loop control. Available in titanium or invar.
