PI, a world chief in precision movement management and nanopositioning, now provides quick supply of the L-511 linear micropositioning stage — designed for purposes requiring minimal incremental movement down to twenty nanometers, drive forces as much as 22 lbs, and multi-axis configuration choices.
The L-511 excessive precision linear stage offers decision and repeatability to 0.1 µm. Picture Credit score: PI (Physik Instrumente) LP
With linear journey as much as 155 mm (6″), the L-511 could be mixed to kind XY or XYZ movement methods and built-in with rotary levels for enhanced flexibility. A wide range of drive and encoder choices (stepper and servo motors, rotary and linear encoders) allow ultra-fine sensitivity from 0.6 microns all the way down to 0.005 microns.
The L-511 options high-load recirculating ball bearings for distinctive sturdiness, even beneath demanding, repetitive cycles. Regardless of its compact footprint, it handles masses as much as 500 N (110 lbs) and achieves journey speeds as much as 90 mm/sec. A precision 2 mm pitch ball screw drive is nested in a stress-relieved aluminum base to make sure most stability and low drift.
To boost positioning accuracy and automation throughput, the stage integrates non-contact, direction-sensing optical reference level switches situated at mid-travel. Non-contact restrict switches are additionally included to safeguard the mechanical construction.
Customized Calibrations
Customized-tuned, aligned, and error corrected 2-axis and 3-axis stage assemblies are additionally out there, via PI’s US engineering and manufacturing staff.
Controller Choices
PI provides a variety of high-performance controllers for stepper, servo and 3-phase motors, in each single- and multi-axis configurations, absolutely suitable with the L-511 stage. Every controller is supported by PI’s complete software program suite, enabling fast start-up and seamless integration into customized automation environments.
