The M3-F allows you to rapidly add motorized focus capability to your board-mounted camera without increasing system size. The M3-F’s miniature size and low power consumption make it an ideal solution for portable, battery-operated devices. The integrated microcontroller accepts position commands and PID control settings from your camera processor over a digital I2C or SPI serial interface. These advanced features provide rapid and precise lens position control with 0.5 micron resolution to capture the sharpest images from your board-mounted camera system. The M3 platform The heart of the M3-F 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. Focus modules created on the M3 platform provide reliable and unparalleled performance.
