The NanoMotion II High Performance Micropositioning System combines the NanoMover® Precision Linear Actuator with a precision motion control chassis and software. It is used to automate existing processes for greater process control in both laboratory and production environments. The high resolution and extremely repeatable and accurate characteristics of the NanoMotion II system enables a wide range of applications within the photonics, semiconductor, biotechnology, medical and telecommunications industries. The NanoMover actuator couples a precision micrometer screw to a stepper motor. Through a combination of electronics and software the precision chassis is capable of providing control of up to two NanoMover actuators. Designed for flexibility, the chassis can be configured to communicate with a host computer via a PC ISA slot, RS-232 port, or IEEE-488 port. Additionally, up to eight chassis can be linked together to provide control of up to 16 actuators. The unmatched performance, compact size and simple user interface makes the NanoMotion II High Performance Micropositioning System the only choice for the most demanding motion control applications.
