PI (Physik Instrumente) has introduced the E-413, a compact six-channel piezo driver designed for precise control of piezoelectric devices. The low-noise amplifier supports bipolar high-voltage operation and is optimized for multi-axis piezo systems, including stacks, scanner tubes, shear actuators, and XYZ stages in both static and dynamic applications.
PI E-413 six-channel piezo driver for transducers, scanner tubes, and actuators
Key Specifications
- Number of channels: 6 independent high-voltage outputs
- Output voltage range: –250 V to +250 V (bipolar operation)
- Peak current: up to 100 mA per channel
- Peak power: 50 W
- Noise performance: Low-noise design for high-precision applications
- Form factor: Compact design with OEM modules available
The multi-channel architecture simplifies control of complex multi-axis piezo devices, tubes, benders, and positioning stages from a single unit, reducing system complexity and space requirements.
Target Applications
- Nanopositioning and precision stages
- Scanner tubes and shear actuators
- Active optics and vibration cancellation
- Micromachining, micro-pumping, and micro-dispensing
- Medical engineering, photonics, microscopy, and nanotechnology
- Aerospace, laser processing, and research systems
Piezoelectric transducers can respond in the microsecond range, enabling fast and accurate motion. The E-413 leverages this capability to support high-speed switching, valve control, and other demanding industrial and research applications.
