Premium Line – Combining Positioners
merge nanopositioning stages to multi-dimensional systems
Cross-mounting rules:
The innovative design of attocube‘s ANP
Premium Line positioners in combination
with a consequent use of similar mounting patterns on the positioners enables
the assembly of multi axis positioning
units composed of several nanopositioning stages. The modular conception offers the user highest flexibility in the current setup as well as for future projects.
General rules:
An ANP positioner with a lower number should not be used to support one with a larger number, e.g. an ANPx51 should not carry an ANPz101.
Cross-mounting between two differently sized ANP models (e.g. a ‚series 51‘ positioner on top
of a ‚series 101‘ positioner)may necessitate an adapter plate (see overview below)
30-series:
The linear positioner ANPz30 as well as the rotator ANR31 require a customized adapter plate
for mounting them to any other positioner. This adapter plate is available on request.
51-series:
An overview on the cross-mounting scheme for positioners within the 51-series is shown in the
table below. Any positioner of the 51-series can be mounted on any larger positioner by using
the adapter plate AAP100.
101-series:
All positioners of this series can directly be stacked both on top of each other and on larger
positioners.
200-series:
This series refers to the rotator models ANRv220 and ANR240. A customized adapter plate either for mounting the ANRv220 on the ANR240 or for mounting any of them onto a positioner of
the 3*1-series is available on request.
300-series:
All positioners of this series can be mounted directly on top of each other assuming that “higher-numbered” stages support “lower-numbered” stages, e.g. an ANPx311 is mounted onto an
ANPx321.
For a standard ANPxyz-configuration, two
x-positioners (one rotated by 90°) are
mounted on top of a z-positioner.
