Brochure on precision linear translation stages
Brochure presents a variety of compact and sub-compact positioning stages, featuring sub-micron to sub-nanometer precision and closed-loop position feedback with linear encoders and capacitive gauges
PI (Physik Instrumente) offers a new brochure on precision miniature linear translation stages.
Systems range from ballscrew-driven, palm-top sized stages with servo and stepper motors to thumbnail-sized piezo-motor driven stages for high-volume applications.
High-speed stages are available with voice-coil motors, ultrasonic motors and piezo flexure drives.
Non-magnetic and vacuum compatible versions are available as well.
These precision stages are designed for applications in fields such as test and measurement, optics and photonics, biotechnology, aerospace, semiconductor metrology, precision motion control, microscopy.
