Kinematic mirror mounts with piezo motors

N-480 series miniature motorized kinematic optical mirror mounts are equipped with PI's high precision PiezoMike motors for ultra-high resolution angular adjustments in two tilt axes (θ_X and θ_Y) down to 0.3 µrad steps. They are available for mirror and optics sizes of 0.5", 1" and 2" diameter. The high precision PiezoMike motors can be computer-controlled and will hold a position with high stability, even when not energized. Manual adjustment of the N-480 two-axis optical kinematic mounts is also possible. These types of tip/tilt mirror mounts are often used in optics research and for laser beam control and beam delivery systems. For high-speed laser beam steering, PI offers piezo flexure steering mirrors and voice-coil steering mirrors.

Piezo motors

Compact, inexpensive inertia drive principle (stick-slip). At rest, the drive is self-locking, requires no current, and does not generate any heat. It holds the position with maximum force.

Alignment of optical components

Stable alignment of optical paths. Long-term positioning stability: High stability at target position, reliable startup even after longer downtimes. High holding force and resolution by combining piezo actuators with mechanical thread translation. Vacuum-compatible versions to 10^-6 hPa available.
