PI Ceramic GmbH

Multi-Channel Piezo Amplifier

Piezo tube ("scanner tube") control

Depending on the version, the E-413 amplifier can control a piezo tube in two or three directions of motion. The possible directions of motion of a piezo tube depend on the number of its electrode segments.

Voltage range and control signal

Low noise and precision in static and dynamic operation. Peak currents up to 100 mA per channel at -250 to +250 V. Output voltage control via analog input signal -10 to +10 V with gain value of 25. Control signal generation possible with PC via D/A converter and PI driver set for use with NI LabVIEW software.

Scope of delivery

Delivery includes 24 V wide input range power supply.

Control of up to six piezo actuators

The amplifier is also available as a version for controlling up to six individual piezo actuators with bipolar operating voltage such as PICA Shear or Picoactuator®.
