XY-theta alignment stage from OES with high resolution and repeatability
The XYR-03-01 Alignment Stage from Optimal Engineering Systems Inc. (OES) is a high resolution, high repeatability XY-Theta stage for such applications as angular glass cutting and grinding, wafer alignment, semiconductor handling, laser cutting and drilling. The linear resolution of the X and Y axis is 5 µm (non-micro-step) or 0.125 µm (20 micro-steps per step […]
Belt drives offer practical option for performance designs: Motion Trends report
Belt drives include belts and pulleys (as well as clutches and mechanisms for ratio variation) for power transmission between shafts. In cases where these drives function as a conveyor, the load rides on the belt. Elsewhere (as in actuators or machine-axis coupling) belt drives function as the device to convert rotary motion of an […]
Multi-axis stages and tables: Manufacturer involvement and software yield turnkey motion systems
There’s increasing demand for stages, tables, gantries, and indexing tables with simplicity or turnkey operation — largely because of industry moves toward focused expertise and abstraction. No wonder that motion-system manufacturers are now doing more integration for plant engineers and OEMs. “As we increase our business with OEMs of various markets — including those in […]
High-performance XY stage with linear servo motors from InteLiDrives
New IntelLiDrives XY stage design allows critical elements such as orthogonality, straightness, and flatness to be optimized, resulting in a stage with exceptional geometric tolerances. Direct-drive technology with core-less linear servo motors has no hysteresis or backlash, enabling accurate and repeatable nanometer scale motions in both X and Y directions. Non-contact direct-drive technology offers robust, […]
Robot-transfer unit (RTU) and other linear-transfer system considerations
As robotics applications proliferate, robot integrators have begun to apply more 7th-axis tracks — also called robot-transfer units or RTUs — as well as linear tool-tray transfer systems. Benedict Talan • President | LazerArc of Motion Index Drives Robots excel in repetitive assembly and process operations that include welding, trimming, routing, drilling, fastening, composite layup, […]

PI releases new catalog of piezo-mechanic nanopositioning motion systems
PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a new 250-page catalog on precision mechatronic actuators and nanopositioning systems based on piezo drive technology and frictionless flexure guiding systems. Products covered in this catalog use PI’s in-house designed and manufactured Mars Rover-tested piezo ceramic actuators as their drive principle. A special form of electro-ceramics, piezo actuators deliver a […]
New vertical XYZ gantry systems from IntelLIDrives
IntelLIDrives’ new Syncronized XYZ Gantries BEMA Series are offered in travel lengths from 300 x 300 mm to 3,000 x 3,0000 mm. With speeds up to 2 m/sec, the BEMA Gantry Series is suitable for applications in high-speed positioning for light-to-medium payloads. Other features include repeatability to 50 microns and loads to 30 kg. The […]
New direct-drive linear motor stages deliver sub-nm resolution
Physik Instrumente (PI) has released a new precision feedback option for its linear stages equipped with direct-drive ironless three-phase motors. The V-551 family of ultra-precision positioning stages is equipped with precision crossed roller bearings featuring anti-creep cage assist and guiding accuracy of 1 µm straightness/flatness per 100 mm. Two types of position feedback systems are […]
