When you need fine control of your laser alignment, linear stages, rotary stages, etc., New Focus has an innovative, reliable solution for you. Our Picomotor actuators and motorized stages and mounts are best in class products. A step size of <30 nm allows for very small, controlled movements. The patented design of the Picomotor actuator moves when voltage is applied to the piezo, changing the length and in turn moving the jaws which turn the screw. When no power is applied, the actuator does not move. You can feel confident that your set-up will stay put, even when you power down your system. In addition, we have closed-loop solutions offering excellent repeatability.
