Series 1000 Cross Roller

A proven, rugged range of linear stages with travel range from 50 to 300mm. High accuracy ground ballscrews and cross-roller bearings are standard. Adjustable magnetic limit and datum switches are integral within the stage assembly. Stepping motors or closed loop servo motors, with rear-mounted encoders or linear scales, provide Position Feedback. 250mm width option for greater stability is available. A wide range of MotionLink positioning indexers and controllers are available to control individual stages or multi axis configurations. Complete mechanical fixtures are available for specific applications.

Series 2000 Rail

Using rail bearings and ground ballscrews, the Series 2000 stages offer load-bearing capability, long travel with high accuracy, repeatability and economy. Travel ranges in excess of 500mm make the Series 2000 exceptionally flexible for special designs. Adjustable magnetic limit and datum switches are integral within the stage. Stepping motors or closed-loop servo motors with rear-mounted encoder or linear scale feedback are all compatible with the Series 2000 stages. A wide range of MotionLink positioning indexers and controllers are available to control individual or multi-axis configurations. Complete mechanical fixture design is also available to specific requirements.

Series 3000 Miniature Rail

With miniature rail bearings and a 1mm pitch ground G0 ballscrew, the Series 3000 linear stages offer a compact design with travels of 25, 50, 75 or 100mm. Fitted with either Size 17 stepping motors or miniature servo motors with rear-mounted encoders, they offer resolutions to 0.1 microns. Mechanical limit and datum switches are integral within the stage. All connections are securely made through a single 15 way D connector. A wide range of MotionLink positioning indexers and controllers are available to control individual or multi-axis configurations.

Series 4000 Low Profile

Designed for compact, low-profile and high accuracy applications, the Series 4000 stages use crossroller bearings and precision G0 ballscrews mounted to one side. Travel range is 25 to 200mm. This design allows the mounting of high accuracy linear scales, protected, within the stage assembly, on the side opposite the ballscrew. The ratio of base thickness to stage envelope ensures a superior, trajectory performance. Limit and datum switches are also integrated within the stage. High resolution stepping motors, up to 125,000 steps per revolution, or servo motors, are mounted on an adaptable motor mount assembly. All connections are securely made through a single 25 way D connector. A wide range of MotionLink positioning indexers and controllers are available to control individual or multi-axis configurations.

Series 7000 & 8000 Integral XY

Designed as low-profile XY integral stages, the Series 8000 offers ground ballscrew drive on each axis, the Series 7000 option uses lower cost rolled ballscrews. The integral design of the upper and lower axes ensures a rugged unitary assembly and an important low-profile rail bearing design for applications in heavier industrial environments. Protective bellows are optional. Stepping motors or servo motors with rear-encoders are available on either stage model. Limit and Datum switches per axis are fitted. All switch, motor and encoder connections are available on QM connectors.

Series 11000 Protected, with a hard top

The Series 11000 is designed for applications where the mechanism must have optimum protection from the operational environment. The Hard-Top design ensures protection without the use of bellows. A protective tape under tension, rolls around an internal capstan within the table top and seals the normal gap between upper and lower sections. The rail bearing system has 4 preloaded journals for high load capacity. A 5mm pitch G0 ballscrew is used as standard. Adjustable Limit and Datum switches are available within the stage. Stepping or servo motors with rear encoders are fitted as required. High accuracy linear scale encoders may be fitted within the Series 11000 assembly. All switch, motor and encoder connections are made through QM connectors.

Series 12000 Wide base

Where heavier loads requiring greater stability must be moved, with accuracy and stable velocity, the Series 12000 stages will perform that task reliably. With a 250mm base width, single and multi-axes configurations are available for demanding applications. Using high load capacity, four journal rail bearings and a high precision ground ballscrew, these stages offer accurate control of position suited to laser machining and optical positioning systems. Limit and Datum switches are fitted. Switch, motor and encoder connections are made through QM connectors. Available with stepping or servo motors with encoders. Linear encoders internally fitted are an option. Protective bellows fitted as standard.

Series 17000 Open frame XY

The Series 17000 open-frame XY stages are designed with a low height profile, for optical applications and to fit under most microscopes. The design allows access through the aperture from upper and lower positions. Cross-roller bearings and ground ballscrews give excellent straightness and flatness characteristics with high accuracy and repeatability. Stepping motor or servo motor control is available, with Limit and Datum switches fitted as standard. All motor, switch and encoder connections are made through D Type connectors on each axis.

Series 29000 Low Cost Integral XY

For applications where a lower cost, low profile XY stage with good performance is required, the Series 29000 offers a compact design with those characteristics. Using ground ballscrews or optional leadscrews for economy, this compact XY stage is available in 50x50 or 100x100mm travels. Stepping motors are standard but servo motors are optional. Crossed roller bearings are used for good stability, within an economical design. Limit and Datum switches are optional. A linear encoder with integral Limit and Datum switch functions is standard.
