PI is releasing a low-profile motorised positioning stage - the M-122 - with a very small footprint of 60×86mm and a travel range of 25mm, suiting it for research and industrial applications including fibre alignment, metrology, quality assurance testing, photonics packaging, test equipment, and micromachining.
The compact closed-loop positioning stage can handle payloads to 11 lbs, with velocity to 20mm/sec. The optical linear encoder provides 100nm resolution and better linearity and repeatability compared with rotary encoder or stepper motor equipped positioners. Long service life and excellent guiding accuracy with minimal backlash are guaranteed by the preloaded ball-screw drive and precision crossed roller bearings with anti-creep cage assist.
M-122 stages can be combined to create very compact XY and XYZ systems. Combined with the networkable low-cost C-863 Mercury servo motor controller, M-122 stages offer high performance at a competitive price.
Please follow the link for specifications, datasheet and more information for the M-122.
