OEM Driver For Miniature Positioning Systems Is Small And Affordable

Inexpensive, versatile, compact: PI's E-872 stick-slip motor driver has it all for OEM applications.

Auburn, MA – PI (Physik Instrumente) LP, known industry-wide for precision motion components, systems, and solutions, announces a new OEM driver for miniaturized piezo inertia positioning stages. Applications include precision opto-mechanical alignment, bio-medical instrumentation, photonics alignment automation, microscopy, micro-manipulation.

Easy Controls, Full / Microstep Variations

The new E-872 driver is designed to complement the size of the ultra-compact inertia motor positioners it manages.  Control is simple with step and direction input via TTL signals. The high 20kHz full step frequency delivers fast response. A version with 256 micro steps allow for extremely smooth motion with nanometer resolution. With its low current consumption and affordable price, the E-872 won't drain your power source or your budget.
