High-Speed Piezo Tip/Tilt Platform S-331

The S-331 is a high-speed piezoelectric tip/tilt platform designed for precise tilting of smaller mirrors in two axes. Thanks to its very fast response and low moment of inertia, it is suitable for dynamic optical beam control, fast scanning and stabilization applications.

Key Features

  • Precise tilting of mirrors in two axes θX and θY
  • Tilt angle of 3 or 5 mrad depending on the selected variant
  • Optical deflection angle up to 10 mrad (0.57°)
  • Resonant frequency up to 10 kHz with a 12.7 mm diameter mirror
  • Short settling time for fast step-and-settle positioning
  • For mirrors with diameters up to 12.7 mm (0.5")
  • Parallel kinematics with identical dynamic properties in both axes
  • Integrated SGS strain gauge sensors for position measurement
  • Backlash-free, maintenance-free and frictionless flexure guides
  • PICMA® piezoactuators with all-ceramic insulation and long service life

Product description

Long Service Life Thanks to PICMA® Piezoactuators

PICMA® piezoactuators feature all-ceramic insulation that protects them from moisture and malfunctions caused by increased leakage current. Compared to conventional actuators with polymer insulation, they offer up to ten times the service life. Their reliability has been verified over 100 billion operating cycles without failure.

Precise Guidance without Mechanical Play

The flexure guides require no maintenance or lubrication and operate without friction or wear. Thanks to their high rigidity, they have a high load-bearing capacity, are resistant to shocks and vibrations, and can be used over a wide temperature range.

High Dynamics Thanks to Parallel Kinematics

In a parallel-kinematic multi-axis system, all actuators act on a common platform. Low moment of inertia and identical designs of both axes enable fast and dynamic motion while maintaining high precision.

Areas of Application

The S-331 piezoelectric tip/tilt platform is designed for applications requiring fast and precise tilting of optical elements in two axes:

  • laser scanning and beam steering,
  • laser and optical beam stabilization,
  • image processing and stabilization,
  • laser tuning,
  • optical traps,
  • control of optical filters and switches,
  • precise positioning of optical elements.
