Large area travel X-Y stages from IntelLiDrives offer precise fine positioning and control achieved through the combination of a stable closed-loop control system and an associated joystick option. In addition, the stages can be combined with the company’s Z stages to form an XYZ stage ideally suited for laser scanning microscopy. The travel range is 300 x 300 and 600 x 300 mm with repeatability of 10 microns, resolution of 1 micron, and loads up to 30 kg.

These stages can be motorized with stepper motors and brushless servo motors with encoders. An optional high-resolution, non-contact linear encoder is also available. This non-contact encoder offers exceptional repeatability and stability over a range of operating conditions. Both digital and analog output versions are available with resolutions in sub-micron range.

The demand for a high accuracy, robust, XY stages is met with these IntelLiDrives stages that address the unique needs of scanning microscopy, wafer and printed circuit board inspection, automated assembly and a wide range of specimens and samples scanning in many types of imaging techniques and applications.
