New Vacuum Encoder with
1.2 Nanometer Resolution for Compact Systems

The new Mercury II™ 6000 Vacuum encoder from MicroE Systems enables more accurate motion system positioning and smaller stages in vacuum applications. The sensor provides output resolution as fine as 1.2 nanometers while operating at 10^-8 torr; exceptionally low cyclical error (short-travel accuracy) of ±20 nanometers enables more accurate nano-positioning and smoother velocity control. Long-travel accuracy of ±1µm is achieved using glass scales. Low jitter, low heat generation and broad mechanical tolerances are all features of the Mercury II optoelectronic technology.

With a sensor height of only 8.2mm, the smallest in its class, more compact nano-positioning motion systems are possible than ever before. View the data sheet

MicroE Systems Enhances Manufacturing Capability with ISO 13485 Certification

MicroE Systems' manufacturing facility in Bedford, MA, USA, is now certified for ISO 13485:2003 traceability required by medical industry customers. ISO 13485 requires manufacturing traceability of the encoder systems and the components used in their manufacture. To achieve the certification, MicroE Systems proved its comprehensive quality and tracking management system to an accredited, independent auditor. The traceability certification supports customers designing encoders into surgical systems, diagnostic systems, hand-held medical devices, hospital instrumentation, and life sciences applications requiring traceability.

The ISO 13485 certification is an enhancement to MicroE Systems' existing ISO 9001:2008 certification.
