Small size, fast integration, high resolution
The M3-RS-U2-4.5-360 Rotary Smart Stage is a miniature, “all-in-one” rotary positioning stage with closed-loop position resolution better than 0.022 degrees. It provides continuous 360° rotation with absolute position feedback.
The compact housing measures only 11.75 mm long x 21.9 mm wide x 16 mm tall and incorporates a built-in controller with all drive electronics and embedded firmware, along with patented piezoelectric motors, position sensors and bearings.
With no need for an external controller, this smart stage enables smallest system size in hand-held and portable instruments.
Embedded controller for fast integration
The embedded controller also means rapid and easy integration into your system. It accepts direct input of high-level digital motion commands from your system processor over I2C, SPI, or UART interface.
