mechonics AG (Munich, Germany) has specialized in stick-slip piezo inertia positioning for over two decades: nanometre steps accumulate into millimetre-range travel, with self-locking position hold at zero power and no heat. Ideal where space is tight, in vacuum (UHV editions) and cryogenic setups, or wherever position must hold through power-off. Product lines: MS/ML/DS miniature linear stages (3.5–30 mm travel, XY/XYZ stackable), MK single-mode fiber couplers, CU/CF/CH drive controllers and NOVA multi-axis controllers. Nahshon is the mechonics distributor for Taiwan.

Product Description

The CH30 is a handheld controller for Mechonics piezo inertial drive stages and operates up to three axes. It runs on three AA batteries without any external power supply, which makes it ideal for manual alignment in the laboratory or for adjusting microscope stages.

Four operating modes are available: fast (up to 1 mm/s), slow (up to 0.2 mm/s), single step and single step repeat (up to 0.05 mm/s). The step size is adjustable between 50 and 500 nm. In sleep mode the current consumption is only 2 uA, giving long battery life.

FAQ

How do I choose between open-loop and closed-loop versions?

Choose closed-loop when you need absolute positioning accuracy and repeatability (e.g. measurement, alignment). Open-loop is more cost-effective and responds faster when you only need relative fine motion or scanning, or when your system already has its own feedback.

Can I test the unit before deciding?

Nahshon is the exclusive distributor of piezosystem jena in Taiwan and keeps commonly used demo units available for scheduled testing, with Chinese-language selection support and direct access to factory engineering.

How do I confirm pricing and lead time for CH.030.0003?

Add CH.030.0003 along with your stroke, load and accuracy requirements to your inquiry list, and we'll help confirm the selection and reply with the factory quote and lead time.
