Technology
Drive type: 2-phase stepper motor for high torque even at low velocities and high resolution.
Position measuring: Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position directly at the platform with the greatest accuracy. Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.
Reduced outgassing especially for use in vacuum environments: In particular, the guide and the spindle are lubricated using a very low-outgassing substance. This allows a bakeout temperature of up to 80 °C. This and other modifications to the PI V6 vacuum class make it possible to use this positioner at up to 10-6 hPa.

At PI, technical data is specified at 22 ±3 °C. Unless otherwise stated, the values are for unloaded conditions. Some properties are interdependent. The designation "typ." indicates a statistical average for a property; it does not indicate a guaranteed value for every product supplied. During the final inspection of a product, only selected properties are analyzed, not all. Please note that some product characteristics may deteriorate with increasing operating time.
