NEW SCALE NEWS
YOUR UPDATE ON MICRO MOTION TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS

September 2023

Dear Lisa,

We continue to roll out Developer's Kits for our miniature smart stages. These kits make it simple to evaluate and begin using these all-in-one micro motion systems in your next product design. Embedded motion makes great products smaller.

NEW DEVELOPER'S KIT

Two-Axis Two-Mirror Beam Steering System With M3 Rotary Smart Stages


The new DK-M3-RS-U2-2M-20-L Developer's Kit features two M3-RS-U2 Rotary Smart Stages with built-in controllers. It is ideal for precise, point-to-point beam steering in a limited space, with dynamic positioning up to 100 Hz. The 3.3 VDC input makes it suited for handheld/portable instruments.


The kit includes two Smart Stages mounted in a base, two mirrors, a 650nm laser, a demo board and cables for evaluation and PC connection, and New Scale's powerful Pathway Software for development.


Each M3-RS-U2 Rotary Smart Stage measures less than 12 x 22 x 16 mm

including controllers.

NEW PRODUCT PREVIEW

M3-TMM-U2-4.5-6 Two-Axis Tilting Mirror Module Developer's Kits Available for Pre-Order


In this motion module, patented UTAF piezoelectric ultrasonic motors move a single mirror in two independent orthogonal axes. Motor drivers, position sensors, and communication are built in to the module, making it an all-in-one solution for controlling laser beams in multiple axes.


Preliminary specifications include:


  • 14 X 14 X 7 mm size including controller
  • +/- 8 degrees of tilt in both axes
  • 0.01 degree resolution and 0.02 degree repeatability
  • 15 millisecond step and settle for 0.5 degree step
  • 3.3 VDC input with off-power hold
  • Built-in controller accepts digital commands via SPI or I2C interface

A3 WEBINAR ON DEMAND

Advances in Motors: Types, Uses and Integrations

Listen as New Scale Technologies' David Henderson and Moons' Industries' Andy Sklierenko discuss trends in motors.


David's discussion focuses on piezoelectric motors and smart systems, while Andy provides the perspective on hybrid stepper motors, brushless DC and servo motors.


Both explore the benefits to users of integrated motion systems, in which instrument designers simplify their development tasks and achieve optimal performance by leveraging the expertise of motion system experts, rather than "just buying a motor."


The webinar was presented by the Association of Advancing Automation (A3).
