New Economical XYR Alignment Stages Come with Two-Phase Stepper Motor

Features linear resolutions of the X and Y axis of 0.25μ, 1.5μ repeatability, 5μ positional accuracy, and 2μ backlash

Available XYR-01-01 and XYR-01-02 models with 60 mm diameter theta stage driven by a 90:1 precision worm gear and 100 mm diameter theta stage driven by a precision 180:1 worm gear respectively

Offers high precision and repeatability for industrial, medical, semiconductor, research, and laboratory applications

 Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) has introduced two economical XYR (Theta) Alignment Stages that offer high precision and repeatability for industrial, medical, semiconductor, research, and laboratory applications. The XYR-01-01 and XYR-01-02 Alignment Stages (XYR-01-02 is pictured ) features ± 7.5 mm of travel in the X and Y axes and ± 180O of rotation (theta).

 The XYR-01-01 and XYR-01-02 Alignment Stages feature linear resolutions of the X and Y axis of 0.25μ (micro-steps per step motor driver in use); the repeatability of each is 1.5μ, positional accuracy is 5μ, and backlash is 2μ. The 1 mm per-turn ground lead screws and preloaded V-groove and crossed roller bearings adds to the high precision and stiffness of these alignment stages. 

The 60 mm diameter theta stage of the XYR-01-01 is driven by a 90:1 precision worm gear and the 100 mm diameter theta stage of the XYR-01-02 is driven by a precision 180:1 worm gear. The resolutions of each of the theta stages is 0.001O (Micro-steps per Step motor driver in use). Repeatability is 0.005O, positional Accuracy is 0.001O and backlash is 0.005O. 

Two-phase stepper motors are standard and a knob for manual adjustments of each axis can be replaced with an incremental encoder for position verification, or with a servo motor and encoder for closed loop operation. These black anodized Aluminum XY-Theta stages are easy to integrate into new or existing systems. Compatible Motion Controllers are available from OES and the XYR-01 -01 and 02 Alignment Stages can also be ordered as a complete plug-and-play system.
