(Physik Instrumente: Shrewsbury, MA) -- Physik Instrumente (PI), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning systems, expands its portfolio of direct-drive vertical translation stages with the V-571.Z family. Featuring a user-adjustable magnetic counterbalance, the V-571.Z direct-drive vertical translation stages are designed for demanding vertical positioning tasks requiring high accuracy, dynamic response, and long service life. The V-571.Z expands PI’s precision motion portfolio for photonics, semiconductor, optical alignment, and metrology applications.

The V-571.Z Z-stages feature a direct-drive, noncogging linear motor that delivers friction-free motion and dynamic performance in a compact platform. The integrated, user-adjustable magnetic counterbalance ensures minimal holding current on the motor when operating vertically, enabling efficient, high-acceleration motion without compromise.
