Product Overview - SmarPod

Based on our piezo-based positioners, we developed a parallel-kinematics for manipulating objects in all six degrees of freedom, three linear axes, and three rotary axes. The SmarPod is designed considerably more compact than a common serial kinematics and it has many advantages such as higher rigidity, low moving mass hence improved dynamical response. Due to the modular design of the SmarPod, its size and strength can be adapted to changing requirements, reaching from a few centimeters to almost a meter of travel with nanometer resolution. All SmarPod models are High Vacuum compatible and most can be prepared completely non-magnetic and UHV compatible. Six Degrees of Freedom: The SmarPod is a parallel kinematics manipulator, where the stage is actuated simultaneously by multiple linear positioners, in contrast to a stacked (serial) design. The parallel arrangement of the actuators optimizes the overall system stiffness and allows to control all six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, roll, pitch and yaw). High resolution and repeatability: A backlash-free mechanical design makes it possible to achieve a movement performance which is in the same order of magnitude as our single positioners. The smallest movement increment is 1 nm for linear and 1 µrad for rotary movements. Over the whole travel the bidirectional repeatability is 200 nm in X, Y and Z and 10 µrad in roll, pitch and yaw. For smaller movements the repeatability is in the order of several nanometers. Control in Cartesian coordinates: The individual piezo-based positioners of a SmarPod do not necessarily point in the resulting direction of motion, which is why a coordinate transformation is needed. Motion commands are expressed in Cartesian coordinates, and all transformations are encapsulated in the control libaries which gives you the possibility to issue commands from your own software or by using our user-friendly SmarPod Hand Controller. User definable Pivot Point: With the possibility to freely set the pivot point, it is easily possible to rotate around any point in space. Adaptable design: In general there are two basic designs of the SmarPod. A circular design which can be as small as 70 mm in diameter, (i.e. the SmarPod 70.42) and a parallel design which offers large travel distances in the XY-plane.
