New Scale Technologies, Inc. | www.NewScaleTech.com | Phone (585) 924-4450 SQ-2115 Closed-Loop Nanopositioning Stage with integral motor and optical encoder Closed-loop SQUIGGLE motor stages and multi-axis systems provide unmatched precision in an extremely compact design. They support vertical loads up to 0.5 kilograms with high stiffness and negligible heating. They are ideal where space is at a premium, such as microscope stages. The SQ-2115 stage integrates a patented piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motor with crossed roller bearings and glass scale encoder. This tiny linear stage delivers automated, “set and hold” nanopositioning for research and industrial instruments. The stages are easily assembled to create X-Y and X-Y-Z systems. Drive Electronics We offer both benchtop controllers for laboratory use, and credit-card sized PCB drive cards for easy closed-loop integration into OEM systems and instruments. Controllers accept analog input, an optional manual handset, or computer interface. We provide New Scale Pathways™ software, along with an ActiveX control that you can integrate into your own applications written in languages such as C++ or Visual Basic.
