Mini XY Linear Motor Positioning Stage

Compact Precision Linear Positioner

ABTech, Inc's Mini X-Y Linear Motor stage combines Copley Controls, Thrust Tube "Micro" Series linear motors with non-contact linear encoders and precision mechanical guideway bearings to produce a unique lightweight, low mass and low profile, linear motor positioning stage.

This design incorporates the linear motors coil (forcer) as the stages workholding carriage while the linear mechanical guideway bearings provide load support, travel straightness and orthogonality for accurate positioning and repeatability.

The Thrust Tube Linear motors are electrically identical to conventional brushless DC motors making them compatible to most third party brushless drives.

These mini X-Y stages are ideally suited for pick and place or point to point positioning applications such as for biomedical sample handling or inspection.

ABTech's modular design approach and full engineering services can respond quickly to provide a solution to your O.E.M. needs for Ultra-Precision linear motion.
