M3-L provides 0.5 micron position resolution at less than ½ the size and ¼ the weight of comparable positioning systems. Typical M3-L travel range is up to 6 mm, with custom variations offering up to 20 mm travel. Our world-class micro-mechatronics engineering team can also provide expertise in your application-specific, single or multi-axis design, providing unrivalled precision in the smallest possible spaces. The M3-L is an ideal low-voltage, high-resolution positioning solution for applications such as photonic/RF tuning devices, optical instrumentation, precision hand-held devices, aerospace controls and biomedical systems. The M3 platform The heart of the M3-L module is New Scale’s M3 Micro-Mechatronic Module technology platform. The platform provides the smallest, highest resolution and most repeatable closed-loop micro-mechatronic system available – all in an easily integrated, customizable package. The platform includes a patented SQUIGGLE® RV piezo micro motor, an NSD-2101 drive ASIC, an NSE-5310 high-resolution magnetic position sensor, and a microprocessor. These combine to create the world’s smallest closed-loop linear motion system, with performance comparable to much larger systems. Linear motion modules created on the M3 platform provide reliable and unparalleled performance.
