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 CU30CL is a 3-axis closed-loop controller dedicated to Mechonics piezo inertial drive positioning stages. Combined with stages featuring a built-in linear measuring system (e.g. the MS30 with measuring series), it achieves a closed-loop position resolution of up to 50 nm, making it suitable for automated positioning tasks that require position feedback and high repeatability.

The controller connects to a PC via USB 2.0 (high speed). Three 9-pin D-sub drive connectors and three MMCX sensor sockets allow simultaneous operation of three axes. Speed modes from 0 to 255 correspond to travel speeds of approximately 0 to 1.2 mm/s.

Software for Microsoft Windows 10/11 (32/64 bit) is included, together with a DLL and wrapper DLL for integrating the controller into your own measurement or production software.

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 CU.030.1003?

Add CU.030.1003 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.
