Motion Control – Linear-XYZ-Rotary Combination Stages from Intellidrives!

December 01, 2017 Editor

Intellidrives 4 Axis XYZ-Rotary System

Philadelphia, PA, — Motion Control Components and Systems – Intellidrives’ compact, high precision XYZ-Rotary stage is a combination of Intellidrives: LSMA XY lead-screw driven stages, an MLVT Lift stage, and an RTHM worm gear rotary table.

Features include:

– XY stroke 100×100 mm

– Lift 13 mm

– Unlimited rotation

XY Lead-Screw Driven Stages – The LSMA miniature linear actuators designed for the space confined applications while retaining the high reliability required in production environments. It is an ideal choice for measurement, testing, alignment and component assembly in any application on the factory floor or laboratory environments.

The precision ball screw or micrometer grade lead screw provide excellent accuracy and repeatability with ultra-fine positioning resolution capability of 0.1 micron or finer when driven by the stepper motor. The servomotor version is equipped with a rotary encoder and provides exceptionally smooth travel.

Lift Stage – The MLVT Vertical Lift Stages offers precise vertical translation for payload elevation. A unique wedge design or direct drive motorized screw converts motor rotation into true vertical elevation of the platform. Precision bearings provide platform stiffness and stability while the screw mechanism assures positioning accuracy.

Rotary Table – The RTHM series rotary stages provide arc-second resolution when driven from a micro-stepping or a brushless servo motor controller. The low profile design is made possible by the use of compact precision bearings. The rotating carriage of the stage provides continuous rotation of load up to 10 kg and has large clear aperture to allow the passage of the optical path or cables directly through the stage. The main body of the stages is made from lightweight anodized aluminum and can attach directly to an optical table or moving linear or XY actuators and can be mounted at any orientation. A precision worm gear assembly is used to transfer the rotary motion of the stepper motor into rotary motion of the carriage. The small size allows use in confined spaces, such as laser cavities, disk texturing machines, manufacturing areas for fiber optical components or semiconductor manufacturing.

Motion Control – Four Axis Vacuum Compatible Gantry from H2W Technologies.

November 01, 2017 Editor

H2W Technologies Four-Axis-Vacuum-Compatible Gantry

Santa Clarita, CA —– Motion Control — Fully vacuum compatible four axis positioning gantry (XYTZ). The XY axes are driven by brushless linear motor DR Positioning Stages. The Theta axis is a worm gear stage that is driven by a rotary stepper motor under closed loop control in conjunction with an arc-segmented linear encoder. The Z axis linear motion is achieved by using a voice coil positioning stage operating under closed loop position control. The four axes operate under synchronized position control in conjunction with a non-contact analog output position feedback device that is used to control the position with respect to a silicon wafer. The stage includes a fully integrated four axis electronics package that allow each axis to operate under closed loop control..

All components were selected for their low outgassing characteristics and the system was designed to fit within a customer designed vacuum chamber. This gantry was designed to perform secondary processing procedures on a silicon wafer while exposed to a vacuum.

Features:

Vacuum Compatible
