Ultra-low profile XY-theta nanopositioning stage uses air bearings

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

stages

PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a unique planar XY-theta-Z nanopositioning stage based on air bearings and direct drive motors. Unlike conventional multi-axis stages, the A-361 employs only one moving platform shared among all three axes. One of its advantages is the ultra-low profile of only 40 mm, despite featuring an integrated vacuum chuck to accommodate […]

Modular gantries provide pick-and-place precision

★ By Rachael Pasini Leave a Comment

Cartesian gantries are robotic and motion control systems operating within a defined three-dimensional space based on the orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes of the Cartesian coordinate system. With linear motors, precision bearings, and state-of-the-art geometric error compensation techniques, these gantries enable precise movement along each axis, allowing straight paths within the system’s defined workspace. […]
