More than 20 product families are available starting with miniature translation stages and positioning ranges of 40 mm to high load, linear translation stages for long travel ranges to 1 meter. These motorized precision positioners come in a large variety of standard and custom versions for any budget and application. They cover low-cost, open loop stages with stepper motors and, leadscrew drive to high-speed and high accuracy, models with linear encoders featuring up to 1 nanometer resolution.
Choice of Motors & Feedback Sensors, Clean Room, Vacuum
Most stages also come in vacuum-compatible and clean-room compatible versions. Customers can chose between rotary servo-motors, linear servo motors and stepper motors. Closed loop models are offered with optical high-resolution position feedback. In addition to single axis precision linear stages, the company designs and manufactures XY-positioning stages, precision Z-stages (elevation stages) and precision rotation stages.
Motion Controllers
A variety of motion controllers with USB and RS-232 interfacing is available to match the positioning mechanics and application requirements.
