Electronic and manual control
Very simple electronics
Very compact The Piezo LEGS® wave plate motor is intended primarily for use in laser applications with standard 0.5inch (12.7mm) inserts. It is available bare metal version. The advantage of using the Piezo LEGS® technology is the unsurpassed accuracy in positioning resolution as well as automatic locking giving true set-and-forget performance. The technology is based on direct drive which removes the issues of hysteresis and backlash. Drive Technology The stage is using the patented Piezo LEGS® technology. Controlling the motor The range of drivers includes simple full step drivers to more advanced micro-stepping drivers that can fully utilize the excellent performance of the Piezo LEGS® technology. Drivers are available both from PiezoMotor as well as other independent companies (See Piezomotor.com for details). As the Piezo LEGS® is based on friction it is also possible to rotate manually for easy course adjustment.
