Collocated piezo sensor – actuator
For applications where machines have to hold position accurately in the sub-nanometer range, external disturbances are unwanted and should either be minimized by isolation or actively damped. For piezo hard mount solutions vibrations are sensed by a piezo sensor and actively compensated by a collocated piezo actuator.
Active damping systems up to 6 degree of freedom are developed based on customer demands. Solutions with criteria on stroke, mass, bandwidth and cross talk level between actuator and sensor are provided.
