Newport’s NanoPZ family of piezo motor actuators and controllers were designed to provide cost-effective, nanometer-scale remote positioning of manual stages and optical mounts in a wide range of opto-mechanical systems. 

The PZC200 single axis, controller/driver provides convenient and ergonomic one hand speed control, and easy to use push button channel control for up to 8 axis, when used with the PZC-SB switchbox. The PSC200 is equipped with a serial RS-485 computer link for computer control of up to 256 x PZA12 actuators in parallel. RS-485 is accessed by using the RS-485 to RS-232 converter NSC-CB-485-232-1 plugged into the PC\'s RS-232 port. For USB connectivity, use optional the SMC-USB RS-232 to USB converter. 

The PZC200 controller is dedicated to the PZA12 Piezo Motor Actuator, which has 30nm MIM, 50N axial load capacity and greated than 0.2mm/s speed. The PZA12 actuator is compatible with an array of Newport products including ULTIMA® Series optical mounts, GON Series goniometers, and ULTRAlign™ Series of linear stages.
