Product catalog summary

Overview
Cedrat Technologies (CTEC) specializes in the development of piezoelectric stages and controllers used in various high-precision applications such as space, electro-optic systems, and scientific instrumentation. These products are typically customized to meet specific client requirements and are not generally available as off-the-shelf solutions.

Key Features
The piezo stages are known for their compactness, dynamic performance, and precision. They are used in applications like image resolution enhancement, line of sight stabilization, and microscopy. The stages are based on a push-pull electrical and mechanical symmetric configuration, offering high stiffness and resonant frequency in a compact size.

Product Specifications

XY25XS: Designed for image resolution enhancement in infrared cameras, with a stroke of 25 µm and a resonance frequency of 3000 Hz.
XY95ML: Used for generating high-frequency micro-vibrations, with a stroke of 95 µm and a resonance frequency of 1215 Hz.
XY100SZ10M Rosetta: Utilized in space for nano-resolution scanning in Atomic Force Microscopes, with a stroke of 100 µm on X and Y axes and 8 µm on Z axis.
XY120S-TC: Integrated into optical communication systems, offering fast-tracking functions with a stroke of 100 µm.
XY200M and XYZ200M: Standard stages for applications like mask positioning and microscopy, with a stroke of 200 µm.
XY300M: Designed for line of sight stabilization in electro-optic systems, with a stroke of 300 µm.
XY400M: Developed for optical fiber alignment in space projects, with a stroke of 400 µm.
XY500M: Used for field of view scanning and stabilization in airborne systems, with a stroke of 500 µm.

Applications
The stages are used in a variety of applications including micro-scanning, optical tweezers, SEM & AFM microscopy, and optical fiber alignment. They are suitable for environments with specific temperature ranges and vibration levels.

Environmental Conditions
Each stage is designed to operate under specific environmental conditions, such as temperature ranges and vibration levels, to ensure reliability and performance in demanding applications.

CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES Innovation in Mechatronics compact dynamic precise Heritage in Space, Electro-Optic Systems & Scientific Instrumentation The XY20XS and XY25XS stages were developed for improving the image resolution of infrared (IR) cameras. The image resolution enhancement is obtained thanks to an image oversampling algorithm (developed by our customer) that is coupled to a micro-scanning pattern (performed by the stage). The role of the stage is to shift either a lens or a detector, it means shifting the image relatively to the sensor’s pixels, by a fraction of the pixel size, following...

CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES Innovation in Mechatronics compact dynamic precise Heritage in Space, Electro-Optic Systems & Scientific Instrumentation The ROSETTA satellite was launched in 2004 by an Ariane-5 G+ launcher, in order to study Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. One of its ten instruments, MIDAS, uses an XY100SZ10M 3 axes piezo electric stage in the scanning mechanism of its on-board Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The mechanism ensures the nano-resolution scanning motion of the AFM under a severe environment. After 10 years of travel in space, the instrument successfully operated, showing its...
