Motorized Vertical Single-axis Stages |
These
high
resolution,
compact,
low
profile
elevator
stages
feature
high
stability
60
mm x
60
mm
tables
and
8 mm
of
vertical
travel.
High
precision
cross
roller
bearing
rails
assure
very
high
parallelism
and
smooth
motion
throughout
the
raising
and
lowering
of
the
table.
These
Z-Axis
Stages
are
ideal
for:
Microscopy,
inspection,
metrology,
positioning,
photonics,
sampling,
and
laser
drilling
and
machining.
Driven
by
Two-Phase
Stepper
Motors,
the
DAG8-60-01
and
the
DAG8-60-04
Motorized
Elevator
Stages
feature
3
micron
positioning
accuracy,
and
resolutions
of
0.5
microns
(with
a 10
Micro-steps
per
step
motor
driver
in
use).
The
knob
for
manual
adjustment
on
the
DAG8-60-01
(shown)
is
replaced
with
a
Quadrature
Incremental
Optical
Encoder
for
position
verification
on
the
DAG8-60-04.
The
load
capacity
of
these
compact
stages
is 4
kg.
Speed
of
travel
is 5
mm
per
second
and
limit
switches
prevent
over
traveling.
The
table
of
each
stage
has
a
precise
pattern
of
threaded
holes
for
fixtures
or
tooling,
and
holes
in
the
base
allow
for
easy
integration
into
a
new
or
existing
application.
These
stages
require
a
Motion Controller that can be ordered as
a
complete
plug-and-play
system
with
RS-232,
USB,
joystick,
trackball,
and
keypad
control.
