Symphotony Inc. has commenced sales of piezo actuator products manufactured by Mechano Transformer Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Mechano Transformer"). These products are precision positioning solutions that achieve high-precision position control at the nanometer level and are compatible with advanced research applications, including the field of quantum technology.

Mechano Transformer is a company established in 2002, originating from the Higuchi Laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Based on piezo technology with nanometer-level resolution and high-speed responsiveness, the company has established an integrated development system from design and prototyping to mass production. It has a proven track record in advanced fields such as silicon photonics and laser communication, providing products that support precise optical control technology.

This product series is a piezo actuator series specialized for precision positioning applications. The flagship product, "Piezo Assist Motor®", is a small electric actuator with a resolution of 30 nm or less. By replacing the micrometer head of a precision stage, it enables nanometer-level positioning and automation. It also has the characteristic of holding its position without power supply, contributing to stable optical alignment maintenance. When combined with external sensors, it can support even higher-precision feedback control.

The "Piezo Assist Stage" combines coarse and fine adjustments, achieving both a maximum movable range of 13 mm and a resolution of 20 nm, making it suitable for research applications requiring precise position adjustment.

In quantum computing and quantum optical experiments, stabilizing laser paths, constructing interferometers, and controlling the position of optical elements with nanometer precision are crucial. These products are expected to be utilized as actuators for achieving such high-precision optical alignment. In particular, they possess characteristics suitable for optical system control in the quantum technology field, such as fine angular adjustment of mirror mounts (μrad order) and precise positioning in microscopes and interferometers.

These products are suitable for the following applications:

・ Nanometer-level precision positioning

・ Optical alignment in quantum optical experiments

・ Interferometer construction and stabilization control

・ Microscope and high-resolution observation systems

・ Laser irradiation position adjustment and precision processing

Furthermore, by combining with a dedicated controller, it is possible to build an automated control system linked with PCs and PLCs.

At our company, we propose various solutions suitable for quantum technology fields and precision optical applications, including piezo actuator products from Mechano Transformer. We can also consult on product selection and system configuration according to your application. We handle over 100,000 laser and optical related products from more than 300 overseas manufacturers, in addition to other products from the same company. Please feel free to contact us below.
