Industrial Line – Key Features
Industrial Line
Nano Drives for Industry
With the Industrial Line series of positioners, attocube has genuinely combined highest precision piezodrive technology with
extremely rugged yet cost effective design. All Industrial Line
positioners are dedicated for operation at ambient temperature
and at pressures ranging from atmospheric to UHV.
High Loads
Facilitated by their unique piezodrive technology, their stiff
mechanical design, and the application of crossed roller
bearings, ECS positioners are capable of moving and placing
loads of up to several kg on the nanometer scale.
500,000
Z
The Industrial Line drive series is precisely engineered for applications, where space is frequently constrained while load and tor que
applied to the positioning units may be significant. This powerful
performance is supplemented by the ECC100 drive electronics
which enables open and closed loop positioning with 1 nm/1 µ°
position resolution.
Closed Loop Control
In conjunction with the three-axis drive electronics ECC100,
ECS positioners are capable of a closed loop1 positioning
resolution of 1 nm (1 µ°) while providing travel velocities of up
to 4.5 mm/s (10 °/s). A position repeatability of 50 nm (50 µ°)

Materials & Life Expectancy
Large Travel Ranges
For Industrial Line positioners special emphasis was put on both
life endurance and cost effective manufacturing. The room temperature optimized drive mechanism, combined with the choice
of aluminum or stainless steel as main body material, enables a
significant cost reduction compared to positioners of the Premium Line, while achieving a life span about 500,000 cycles2.
Positioners of the ECS series take advantage of a drive mechanism based on attocube‘s patented inertial drive technology,
modified specifically for applications at ambient temperature
where large travel ranges of several centimeters are mandatory.
