The model 8310 closed-loop Picomotor actuator is ideal for applications where closed-loop control and absolute position calibration is required.

Closed-Loop Picomotor™ Actuator

The model 8310 closed-loop Picomotor actuator is ideal for applications where closed-loop control and absolute position calibration is required. With an integrated rotary encoder and limit switches, it offers the best attributes of the standard Picomotor actuator, ie. <30-nm resolution, >5 lbs. (22 N) of force along with set-and-forget long-term stability and ±1-µm bi-directional repeatability over the entire half-inch travel range.

New: iBeam smart — The Ultra Compact Diode Laser

TOPTICA allows users to increase productivity and reliability in their applications, while at the same time optimizing the weight and size of their systems at only 4×4×10cm³. As the first true one-box compact OEM diode laser modules it is capable of upgrading almost any existing diode laser. This is made possible by a highly integrated, microprocessor based electronic setup in combination with an outstanding opto-mechanical design. Also, the iBeam smart is the most powerful as well.
