High Quality Materials
carefully chosen for each field of application
The basis for outstanding positioner performance is the right choice of
materials. attocube’s engineers put a lot of time in selecting and testing
new materials and material combinations of highest quality for a steady
improvement of all positioner stages.
Premium Line
Cutting edge research at cryogenic temperatures has been one
of attocube’s key markets from the very beginning. Elaborate
testing of all stages prior to shipment as well as the continuous
development of new products for these environments is mandatory for a successful support of our customers offering them a
chance to discover new experimental possibilities.
Titanium becomes super-
conducting at temperatures
below 400 mK!
As a standard, all Premium Line positioners are manufactured
from non-magnetic materials such as highly pure titanium
(grade 2) and ceramics. Some highly sophisticated measurement
techniques require ultra low temperatures in the mK regime,
where titanium becomes superconducting at temperatures below
400 mK. For such cases, attocube offers a dedicated upgrade
option for all Premium Line positioners where the positioner body
is manufactured from beryllium copper. In case other materials
are required, please contact us for alternatives.
Industrial Line
For Industrial Line positioners, special emphasis was put on both
life endurance and cost effective manufacturing. The robust drive
mechanism integrated in the positioner main body made from
either aluminium or stainless steel, enables a significant cost
reduction compared to positioners of the Premium Line. Typical
applications in ambient conditions are optics experiments:
non-reflective positioners made from anodized aluminium are
therefore the equipment of choice!
For all vacuum applications, Industrial Line positioning stages
are manufactured from stainless steel. In case other materials are
required, please contact us for alternatives.
