Smart stage for compact instruments

The M3-LS-3.4-15 Linear Smart Stage direct-drive precision piezoelectric micro stage has an embedded controller designed for integration into compact OEM instruments.

Absolute encoding eliminates errors and disruptions in processes and experiments, removing the need to home the stage on power-up.

With low acoustic noise and no high voltage, the smart stage can be used for near-patient instruments and wearable devices. The embedded controller simplifies smart stage integration into OEM instruments and provides simple, high-level motion commands directly to the stage from the system controller.
