Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of piezoscanners. The analysis of existent domestic and foreign constructions of piezoscanners is carried out. It is certain that existent constructions have a lot of shortcomings, basic from which – an insufficient range of scanning. A novel construction of the piezoscanner is developed on the basis of a bimorph cylindrical element. The standard of developed piezoscanner is made and the results of experimental researches, in which the mutual influence between actuators on XYZ the co-ordinates is reduced.
