Conventional stages may not be
sufficient, when longer ranges
of travel are required. So, for long
travel-manual dovetail stages
are the perfect solution. The
stage translations are driven by
rack and pinion over
large distance without losing
the Load Capacity. Coarse drive
allows quick and rapid
positioning of stages, however
once set in position may get
locked, via clamp lever.
For long and precise positioning
a conventional stage should be
mounted on a dovetail stage.
The stages are categorized as
X, XY and XYZ
stages.
