PIMotion&Vision™—Integration of Vision System and Micro-/Nanopositioning
ing edges all the way to com-
plex alignment routines in six
degrees of freedom with up to
80 axes of motion, switching
functions and read-in of analog
signals (e.g.
photometer sig-
nals for
professional optical fiber align-
ment).Motion is commanded usingthe PI General Command Set,
which is supported by all PI
multi-axis micropositioning
and nanopositioning con-
trollers.The basic version contains allthe drivers provided by PI; the
Pro Version includes the full
IMAQ development environ-
ment from National Instru-
ments, making possible aneven wider range of systemintegration and function devel-
opment.

System Vision System for Integration with PI Micro- andNanopositioning Systems Controls up to Six DOF Motion with Sub-µm or Sub-nm
(Sub-µrad) Resolution National Instruments Compatible Vision System
illumination system, developedby PI. The light intensity is
adjustable and the use of LEDs
assure long lifetime. The unit
can be powered directly from
the PI controller, a feature
which helps reduce the numberof components.

Notes Optimal performance in trans-mitted-light applications can beobtained with the F-311.L10 PIMotion&Vision™ offers anintegrated solution for difficult
tasks such as automated posi-
tioning of optics, semi-conduc-tor wafers, microsystems tech-nology MEMS fabrication or

microscope manufacturers: Intelligent automated proce-
dures. Motion systems capable of
carrying out the positioningor scanning required. NI Framegrabber The hardware for the F-311PIMotion&Vision™ systemconsists of a National Instru-ments PCI bus framegrabber
card. This fact guarantees a
high degree of compatibility
for further system integration.
The framegrabber card sup-ports a number of camera sys-tems and is available with one
or four channels. Basic functions such as autofocus, edge and pattern
recognition, and gap mea-
surement. Software Interface to Micro-and Nanopositioners PIMotion&Vision™ offers alarge number of LabView™
drivers for continuous monitor-
ing and processing of the
image information, including
standard procedures for gap
