Piezo Stage – mechanical device, driven by a piezoelectric actuator, which provides one or more axis of motion.

Nanopositioning – the technology of moving and measuring with nm precision. Piezo stages are used in nanopositioning applications since they can achieve that level of precision.

nPoint designs and manufactures systems that use flexure hinges to link a moving platform to a static base.

A piezo stage can also be referred to as a nanopositioner, nanopositioning stage, piezo flexure stage, piezoelectric stage, or a nanopositioning device.
