High-precision motion stage has the right stuff
In-house designed and built motion control components are used to design and build a high-precision motion stage. ProDrive Technologies In many specialized manufacturing operations, precision is non-negotiable. Yet, at the same time, many system designers and integrators are also being challenged to increase performance and reduce costs. To meet the dual demands to increase performance […]
New 600-mm vertical lift stage features 5-micron repeatability
The new AT20-600 series of Motorized Vertical Lift Stages from Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) features a vertical lift of 600 mm. The AT20-600-01 is driven by a two-phase stepper motor and features a repeatability of 5 microns, positional accuracy of 20 microns and has a knob on the motor for manual adjustment. The AT20-600-02 […]
Multi-axis transfer robot features backlash-free belt drive
Bell-Everman has introduced a new multi-axis transfer robot based on its proven ServoBelt backlash-free belt drive technology. Called ServoBelt Arc Drive, it features custom designed rotary and tilt axes that precisely position semiconductor glass panels. Measuring 450-mm across, the robot’s large rotary axis is built around a ServoBelt drive mechanism and a proprietary Bell-Everman bearing […]
Elevator stages feature 0.03 micron resolution
Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) has released two new motorized elevator stages, the DAG20-120-01 and the DAG20-120-04. These high-resolution, compact, low-profile elevator stages feature high stability 120 x 120 mm tables and 20 mm of vertical travel.
