PMC100 Piezo Motor Controller
Position control and nanoscale motion of system components in Scanning Probe Instruments often requires the use of highly specialized inertial piezo motors. These motors require a very sudden change in voltage to overcome strong frictional holding forces between the piezo and the secondary component. This requires special high voltage amplifiers with very fast slew rates. The RHK PMC 100 Piezo Motor Controller is designed to provide such a signal and can be directed to nine different outputs to operate nine separate motors!
PPC200 HV routing control
The RHK PPC 200 provides X,Y,Z coarse motion for Beetle scanners. It is also used for HV routing control for Beetle scanners. The PPC200 is a USB-controlled relay switch box that takes input voltages and divides them up and outputs them to the Beetle scan heads (it also has a Ground line).
IVP-R9 Second Stage Preamplifier
The RHK IVP R9 is a Second Stage Preamplifier
