2-Axis Piezo Stages
Tip/tilt piezo stages provide ultra-precise angular positioning for beam steering, optical alignment, and dynamic stabilization applications.
- Controlled rotation about two orthogonal axes for pitch and roll adjustment
- Piezoelectric actuation with flexure-guided motion for frictionless, backlash-free performance
- Nanoradian-level resolution with high stiffness and exceptional repeatability
- Fast response and high bandwidth for real-time correction and stabilization
- Defined pivot point minimizes unwanted linear displacement during angular motion
- Ideal for laser beam steering, adaptive optics, interferometry, and high-resolution imaging systems
