Smallest size, high resolution
The M3-RS-U2-4.5-360 Rotary Smart Stage is a miniature, “all-in-one” rotary positioning stage with closed-loop position resolution better than 0.022 degrees. It provides continuous 360° rotation with absolute position feedback.
The compact housing measures only 11.75 mm long x 21.9 mm wide x 16 mm tall and incorporates a built-in controller with all drive electronics and embedded firmware, along with patented piezoelectric motors, position sensors and bearings.
With no need for an external controller, this smart stage enables smallest system size in hand-held and portable instruments.
Embedded controller for fastest integration
The embedded controller also means rapid and easy integration into your system. It accepts direct input of high-level digital motion commands from your system processor over I2C, SPI, or UART interface.
Developer’s kits include a USB adapter for PC control, and New Scale Pathway™ software for evaluation and system development.
Low power use for battery-powered systems
The positioning module needs only 3.3 V DC and uses approximately 750 mW when moving. It can be powered by USB or standard batteries. The integrated piezo motor holds position without using power.

AR Microwave horns take microwave coverage to a new level. Our broadband RF and microwave horn antennas are specially designed to compensate for the losses that typically occur in test systems as frequency increases. They exhibit increasing gain with increasing frequency, up to 50 GHz. AR microwave horn antennas can be used in shielded rooms or in free space.
The new, next-generation FOX platform allows the company to exceed the high quality standards that its customers have come to expect. Minimal leakage current means that FRIWO's power supply units are also ideally suited for use with measurement technologies, because they prevent unwanted influences that distort measured values. The FOX product family already meets the U.S. Department of Energy's stringent 2016 DOE energy-efficiency standards, which include stricter requirements regarding the efficiency and standby loss of power supply units. The harmonization of European thresholds with the U.S. standard in 2017 is currently under discussion. As a result, FRIWO already offers devices that exceed future statutory requirements, ensuring the worldwide use of your application. Choosing FOX today is an investment in the future, offering security tomorrow and beyond.
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.
