Nano Positioning Sensor

Some SmarAct positioners can be equipped with a sensor for nanopositioning tasks. The linear nanosensor has a resolution of about 1 nm and an absolute accuracy of +/- 1 µm. The rotary nanosensor has a resolution of about 10 µ°. Integrating a nanosensor into a linear positioner has no effect on the outer dimensions of the positione

positioner with nanosensor

Positioners with integrated nanosensor must be connected to an MCS control system. The MCS controller can then use the sensor values for closed-loop position control.
For ordering a positioner with integrated nanosensor please add "-S" to the order code of the positioner, e.g.  "SLC-1730-S".
