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.
