The Physik Instrumente E-501.00 is a compact modular servo controller for precision control of piezo actuators and nanopositioning systems. Housed in a 9.5-inch chassis measuring 236 × 132 × 296 mm, it supports up to three channels through interchangeable amplifier, servo-control, and interface modules. The system delivers flexible closed-loop positioning via capacitive sensors and strain gauge sensors, with digital or analog control pathways for both standalone and computer-integrated operation.
