Nanomover System

Nanomover Actuators

 

 

The NanomoverTM actuator consists of the finest micrometer leadscrew driven through a direct linkage (to minimize backlash) by a two phase, 400 steps/revolution stepper motor. Although somewhat larger than a typical micrometer, Nanomovers are designed as a direct replacement for a manual micrometer. Three versions of Nanomover are available : standard(11 NCM 001),high torque(11 NCM 005), and the spherically tipped(11 NCM007).

. All actuators have a 25mm of travel.
. They directly replaces manual micrometers
. with 9.5mm (.375 in.) Shafts
. The high torque model is perfect for vertical stages.
. Available drivers allow complete software control.
. Individually tested actuators come with an
. inspection data sheet.
. Actuators have up to 10nm resolution,
. repeatable to within±100nm.

Nanomover¢â Control System II

 

 

 

 

The NanomoverTM control system II(NCSII) consists of a power supply, a two-channel Nanomover control card and two board slots that can be configured for either an IBM-ISA bus or an IEEE-488/RS-232 interface for communication to the host computer. The block diagram of the NCSII is shown in the figure on the next page.

. Computer control via IBM-ISA bus or IEEE 488/RS 232.
. Link control units together for additional pairs of actuators.
. Interface for two mechanical limit switches per actuator.
. Optional joystick for simple control of individual actuators
. without a host computer.
. Used with any two phase stepper motor requiring less
. than 1.25 amps per phase.

How to Order

The modular nature of the Nanomotion System makes it easy to create optimized solutions for your specific application. If the host computer is an IBM compatible machine and you wish to operate directly from the ISA bus, then order :
    a. 11 NCS 101/IBM for two actuators.
    b. one 11 NCS 101 for each additional pair of actuators.

If the system is controlled from either an RS-232 serial port, or an IEEE-488 interface, then you order :
    a. 11 NCS 101/IEEE for two actuators.
    b. For additional actuators :
      - one 11 NIB 001 expansion kit and,
      - one 11 NCS 101 for each additional pair of actuators.

Nanomover¢â KITS

 

 

 

 

NanomoverTM drives are high-resolution replacements for many manual translation stage micrometer drives. They are an easy way to create automation that can be incorporated into laboratory and production environments.

. Large selection of compatible ball bearing stage kits are in stock.
. Large selection of compatible crossed roller stage kits are in stock for greater loads and specifications.
. Up to 25mm of travel is available.
. Stacking of stages allows automated x-y-z positioning.
. Adjusting knob allows manual positioning.

For loads greater than 40kg, we recommend using the high-torque Nanomover in the horizontal plane. For vertical configurations, we recommend only the high-torque Nanomover with a maximum load of 8kg.
