New Dev Kit: Miniature two-axis beam steering system boasts smallest size, easiest operation
Miniature piezoelectric smart stages with built-in controller enable simple, precise point-to-point beam steering

The DK-M3-RS-U-2M-20-L beam steering system features two miniature piezoelectric rotary stages with embedded closed-loop controllers. Along with smallest system size, this makes for fast, easy integration into your system.

Each smart stage rotates a pre-mounted aluminum-coated mirror +/- 20 degrees at up to 1100 degrees/second with angular resolution of 0.05 degrees (1 mrad) for precise, point-to-point positioning or dynamic scanning up to 100 Hz. 

With only 3.3 VDC input it is suited for handheld and portable instruments. Applications include medical lasers and imaging systems, industrial measurement and spectroscopy instruments, and laser printing and engraving.

Patented piezoelectric motors along with position sensors, bearings, drive electronics and embedded firmware are all integrated into each miniature rotary stage. The positioner accepts direct input of high-level digital motion commands from a system processor via I2C, SPI, UART or analog servo interface.
