  To perform experiments on the nanometer scale at high brilliant x-ray light sources, it is highly recommended to have the mechanical components of the experiment, like lenses, mirrors and samples, as stable as possible. Since these components need to move from nanometer up to millimeter range they cannot be stabilized by only using rigid structures. For that reason an active stabilization system with fast and precise sensors needs to be developed. Here a Laserinterferometer is used, which provides picometer resolution at several MHz sample rate. In this paper we will present a laboratory setup which consists of a 6-slot Micro Telecommunication Computing Architecture generation 4 (MTCA.4) crate with standard components such MicroTCA carrier hub (MCH), central processing unit (CPU), power supply (PS) and cooling unit (CU). The Interferometer application has been setup with Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) advanced mezzanine card (DAMC-FMC20) data processing unit, DESY Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) mezzanine card (DFMC-UNIO) universal input and output extension and DESY rear transition module (DRTM-PZT4) piezo driver. The encoder signals given by the interferometer controller are processed within the FPGA and then forwarded to the piezo amplifier RTM-board. The signal processing application includes decoding the digital feedback signal, calculating the coordinate transform for specific experimental setups and closed-loop operation based on a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. The first results of the laboratory setup are demonstrated and briefly discussed.
