Vertical Positioning Device for ultra-high vacuum and lowest temperatures (<1 K). The B series Z.LR positioner offers an extended vertical travel range of 6mm at a footprint of 15mm x 15mm and a compact hight of 10mm. As the smallest positioner on the market at the given travel range, it is particularly suited for applications in confined spaces that require extended travel range.
B.Quano.Z.LR
In comparision to the Z positioner, the B.Quano.Z.LR offers an extended vertical travel range. Minimum step size: <30nm. Fine positioning accuracy: <1nm. Positioner Material: Beryllium copper and sapphire. Piezo Material: PZT ceramics.
Our Quano B product line includes same range of versatile positioning devices as the M-line. What distinguishes the positioning devices of the B-line is, that they are manufactured for applications under the most extreme conditions of ultra-high vacuum and lowest temperatures much below 1 K (10 mK < T< 373 K). Critically, the unique structural design of our positioning devices permits the unimpeded flow of heat even at lowest temperatures. This minimizes cool down times and an efficient thermalization of the positioning device and the attached payload. The nano positioning devices of the B-line are the ideal choice for applications in the quantum computation scientific instrument industry, as well as research and development that need to move small payloads (<50g), such as sensors and scanning prove microscopy setup over millimeter distances.
Positional Encoding: Exact knowledge of the payload position can be required in some application. Our positioning devices can be optionally outfitted with a highly accurate encoding device that offers a positional read-out with accuracy up to 10 nm. The read-out scheme based on the geometric electrical capacitance ensures highest precision and does not increase the footprint of the positioning device, whil e being free of energy dissipation. These combined properties make it suited for the integration of the technically most demanding applications.
