Sub-Nanometer Accuracy, Zero Friction: Next-Generation Air Bearing Linear Slide
Summary
PI introduced the A-123 PIglide Air Bearing Linear Slide, a noncontact nanopositioning stage for ultra-precise scanning, metrology, inspection, and positioning. The system combines a brushless linear motor, actively preloaded air bearings, and a high-resolution encoder to deliver nanometer-class control and very high geometric accuracy. It targets semiconductor, optics, flat-panel display, microscopy, micromachining, and aerospace test applications. The announcement also highlights controller integration options and multi-axis configurations for OEM deployment.
