Two-axis beam steering on your fingertip
The DK-M3-RS-U2-2M-20-L is a complete piezoelectric beam steering system with a familiar galvo form factor, but a drastically smaller size: only 11.75 mm long x 21.9 mm wide x 16 mm tall including the embedded closed-loop controller.
The mounted aluminum-coated mirror moves at up to 1,100 deg per second with repeatability of +/-0.05 deg for precise, point-to-point beam steering.
Embedded controller means tiny size plus fast, easy integration
Patented piezoelectric motors along with position sensors, bearings, drive electronics and embedded firmware are all integrated inside each of the two miniature rotary stages.
We’ve eliminated the extra bulk of a separate external controller.
Along with smallest system size, this makes for fast, easy integration into your system. The beam steering system accepts direct input of high-level digital commands from your system processor or use the USB adapter to power and control the system from a PC. Input is only 3.3 VDC.
The Developer’s Kit
The DK-M3-RS-U2-2M-20-L Beam Steering System Developer’s Kit includes two smart stages, mounted mirrors, a 650nm collimated laser, base, demo board, cables, USB adapter and software for system evaluation and development.
Smart Stages with mounted mirrors, laser and base
The standard aluminum-coated mirrors are pre-mounted on the M3-RS-U2 rotary smart stages. The stage’s builtin controllers accept direct digital control via the FPC connector.
Refer to "Datasheets & Downloads" tab for more specifications.
Applications
This system is ideal for precise, pointto-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.

New release 5000m operating altiutude
An impedance tuner is an apparatus, which generates controllable reflection factor (Impedance) over a certain frequency range. Focus uses two basic technologies:
a) For frequencies from 100MHz to 110GHz (and above) we use the slide screw technique (models Multi Harmonic MPT, wideband (fundamental) CCMT, harmonic rejection PHT), in which a reflective probe (slug) is inserted into the slot of a low loss slotted transmission line (slabline or waveguide).
b) For frequencies from below 10MHz to 170MHz we use a lumped element technology (models LFT), whereby variable capacitors are connected with optimized lengths of coaxial cable.

New Scale Technologies (NST)
Embedded Motion Modules Make Great Products Smaller
Founded in 2002, NST develops, licenses and manufactures standard and customized embedded motion modules that fit on your fingertips. These include rotary and linear smart stages that incorporate our patented and proprietary technologies: SQUIGGLE® and UTAF piezoelectric ultrasonic motors, position sensors, precision bearings, drive and control circuits, and microprocessors with closed-loop firmware that connect to New Scale Pathway® PC software.
Our M3 micro mechatronic modules require only battery power and high-level digital commands to produce sub-micrometer precision movements. M3 smart stages are easy for customers to integrate into wearable, handheld, portable and battery-powered products to move very small optics, produce haptic feedback, and miniaturize complex instruments. For example, we use our M3 stages to create our multi-probe manipulator (MPM) system for electrophysiology.
New Scale Technologies uses ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management systems.
