Purpose of the development: Designed for the formation of mechanical micro and nano-displacements in nanotechnology.

Recommended application field: Without such manipulators possible micro - and nanotechnology, where necessary movement and positioning of nano-objects in micro-and nanoprostranstve. Such manipulators are now widely used in cell nanotechnology, such as IVF-technology (artificial insemination), Patch clamp technology (cell electrophysiology), Clone technology (genetic engineering), production of nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanopowders, nanotubes, nanowires, nanofilms) including the new elements of integrated circuits, radiating structures, etc.

Advantages over analogues: Level of resolution (minimum) of the proposed nanomanipulator be at 10 nm, the level of long-term stability of <5 nm / h at 20 ° C, with extra range for speed - 6 orders of magnitude: the maximum speed of 20 mm / s (can be increased up to 200 mm / s) - minimum speed of 20 nm / s, high dynamic characteristics (response time ~ 0.02 msec, while reversing the ~ 0.05 msec, response time ~ 0.1 msec), the smallest size 38x73x55, allowing it to be placed in hard to reach places, such as a few pieces at a microscopic table , vacuum chamber, etc.

The development stage readiness: Pre-production model is made

Technical and economic effect: The need for such nanomanipulators at the appropriate price-quality ratio expected to be about 10 million / year. Buyers of such devices will first nanotechnology research centers, biotechnology and medical laboratories, institutes, universities, colleges, enterprises of the semiconductor integrated appliances, etc.

Description of the development:
()
Nanomanipulators class 3XL-piezo is a 3-axis manipulator system with a joystick or computerized controls, which are combined in itself extremely high resolution (~ 10 nm), continuous temperature stability (drift less than 5 nm / h at 20 ° C) and a lot of moving (15 mm on each axis.) Know-how design is an innovative linear piezoelectric motor class 11 * 24 resonant type of development of the enterprise and its management principles. When the motor is de-energized, it provides an automatic "lock" of the movement, with virtually nonexistent backlash and drift. In the past 40 years, motorized micromanipulator were built by the standard procedure of conversion of rotational movement of the motor (stepper or DC) into linear motion of the linear carriage. This, quite complicated scheme, imposes stringent requirements on the nodes converting rotary motion into linear. Such schemes are resistant to further miniaturization and have limited (especially upper) range in speed and linear movement. The proposed micromanipulator is made by a fundamentally new scheme with direct conjugation of a piezoelectric resonator with a precision of a standard rail, eliminating the conversion of units of movement. Compared to conventional motorized micromanipulators has a small size, high resolution, wide range of high-precision movement, a large range of adjustment for speed.
