Product Description |
| The MMP Series are precision, stepper motor driven, micropositioning systems for high precision motion control for
a variety of applications. The MMP Series are designed for modularity, and with travel ranges of 25mm or 50mm and
can be configured into versatile multi-axis positioning systems. The MMP series employ our proprietary intelligent
control scheme resulting in long range motion with exceptional stability and high native precision. This makes
the MMP series suitable for use with high resolution nanopositioning systems (see table for compatible models).
Optional high resolution (50nm) linear encoders provide real-time feedback of the actual stage position.
MMP stages can be mounted directly to each other with vertical axes supported via adapter sets. The adapter sets
support two different profiles for the vertical axis (-H and -V style). The adapter sets AC-H25 and AC-H50 are lower
profile and have the vertical axis mounted outside the adjacent axes. The AC-V25 and AC-V50 adapter sets allow
for both inside and outside mount of the vertical axis. Adapter sets are specific to the travel range of the vertical axis.
The included Micro-Drive® controller connects to a PC via a standard USB port and can be controlled via the supplied
LabVIEW based software, user written software via the supplied DLL file (e.g. C++, Python), or selected third party
software. Complex motion profiles can be programmed and sophisticated control parameters such as automatic
acceleration and deceleration is employed to achieve high stability and native accuracy. Optional wireless gamepad
control is also available.

The Ultimate Stability, High Native Precision and Accuracy of the Mad City Labs Stepper Motor Micropositioning LineA related system, the single axis SPM-MZ, is often used for high stability, high resolution applications. The stability of the nanopositioner-ready SPM-MZ is critical to high resolution SPM experiments. The SPM-MZ was used as a Z axis coarse approach for the measurements below. | ||
Measurements taken with an AFM show that nanopositioners with PicoQ® sensor technology have sufficiently low position noise to accurately resolve single atomic layer size steps, 312 pm. AFM Demonstrations: Sub-Nanometer Motion 100 and 450 micron range nanopositioners with PicoQ® sensor technology perform 860 picometer steps, 1 nanometer sine wave, and repeated 95 picometer steps, externally measured by AFM. AFM Demonstrations: Measuring Surface Roughness AFM is used to externally verify that the position noise of a nanopositioning system with PicoQ® sensor technology is less than the surface roughness of a Si (111) sample, 60 pm RMS. | ||
The two axis MicroStage, designed for high resolution microscopy, also benefits from the stability and high native precision of Mad City Labs' proprietary intelligent control scheme. This can be seen below in the plot of extremely low drift after 150 micron motions. |
