Product Description |
|
The Nano-Drive® Series of controllers are complete
electronic packages for sub-nanometer positioning. All
Nano-Drive® controllers include low noise, low drift
amplifiers, absolute position control, bandwidth selection,
and closed loop feedback. Closed loop feedback
ensures that the displacement as a function of input voltage
is highly linear and free of positioning errors caused
by inherent creep and hysteresis in the piezoactuators. All Nano-Drive® models provide standard analog
control inputs (0-10V) via front panel BNC’s. Optional
16-bit or 20-bit USB 2.0 digital control interfaces may also
be included to provide true “Plug & Play” connectivity.
Both single and multi-axis versions of the Nano-Drive® allow the user to switch select a reduced system bandwidth
- providing an extra margin of stability for high
load setups. Front panel output BNC’s provide access to the real-time position sensor signal and the actuator
drive signal (HV/10). The standard analog position
command signal is configured for a 0-10V input with
other ranges available upon request (see options). The
Nano-Drive® is also available in circuit board form for
OEM or custom applications. Piezo nanopositioners combined with a Nano-Drive® controller form a calibrated system which is individually adjusted and optimized for the specific motions requested by the customer. Factors such as load (sample mass), type of motion (steps, scanning, etc.), and required positioning speed are all factored into the customized setup. Higher power version, the Nano-Drive®45 and Nano-Drive®85, are available for applications which demand continuous, high speed scanning and fast step responses. Consult your Mad City Labs sales engineer for more information. Select single axis systems include the Nano-Drive®C compact controller. The compact version of the Nano-Drive® controller provides the same performance as a single axis Nano-Drive® controller with an included 16-bit digital interface. Compact Nano-Drive®C controllers are not compatible with additional Nano-Drive® hardware options. Compatible Software Packages:       |
Nano-Drive® Options |
|
| USB16-x | 16-bit USB 2.0 interface (x denotes the number of axes) for moderate resolution, user friendly “Plug & Play” control. |
| USB20-x | 20-bit USB 2.0 interface (x denotes the number of axes) for maximum resolution, user friendly “Plug & Play” control. |
| ND-45-x | Upgrade to higher power Nano-Drive® 45 controller (x = the number of axis). Consult techincal sales to determine suitability) |
| ND-85-x | Upgrade to higher power Nano-Drive® 85 controller (x = the number of axis). Consult techincal sales to determine suitability) |
| AR-10 | -10V to +10V analog input control voltage range. Compatible with the Veeco Nano Scope/Bioscope - may require the VBOB option if high voltage control signals are used (see below). Compatible with computer interface USB20-x but not compatible with USB16-x. |
| AR-6 | -6V to +6V analog input control voltage range. Compatible with computer interface USB20-x but not compatible with USB16-x. |
| AR-5 | -5V to +5V analog input control voltage range. Compatible with computer interface USB20-x but not compatible with USB16-x. |
| ISS | Image scan sync - provides TTL compatible pixel clock, line clock, and frame clock. Compatible with Becker & Hickl and Pico Quant TCSPC modules (Time Correlated Single Photon Counting). The ISS option requires either the 16-bit or 20-bit USB interface option (above) in order to function. |
