US-manufactured XY stages provide ultra-high precision linear motion

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

stages

PI now offers the US-manufactured V-781 XY Stage series, setting new standards for precision, stability, and ease of integration in high-performance motion systems. Engineered as a monolithic, single-module XY stage — rather than a stack of separate linear axes — V-781 stages deliver superior straightness, minimized yaw, and enhanced geometric stability in a compact, low-profile […]
