Automated Imaging
A lot of modern high technology depends on the control and visualization of things that are very small. Because of this, automated imaging is one of the most common applications for XY stages.
Automated Liquid Handling
Biochemical protocols require a lot of pipetting. Many labs use manual pipettes, but increasingly automation has been introduced to increase both throughput and reliability.
Focusing
In most imaging applications, the distance between the optics and the sample must be adjustable to ensure that the image can be brought into perfect focus.
High Vacuum Positioning Systems
A number of high-tech processes must take place in a vacuum environment which places a unique set of constraints on precision positioning systems.
High Precision Systems
High precision positioning stages serve a wide array of applications and can be considered “high precision” for various difference reasons.
Semiconductor
From precise alignment to fast wafer transfer, semiconductor manufacturers require customizable motion systems offering nanometer-level positioning, high-speed dynamics, and flexible configuration options.
Additive Manufacturing
Our motion platforms support additive manufacturing workflows with scalable precision and flexibility—from early development to full-scale production.
Metrology
Modern metrology systems rely on precision motion stages that offer nanometer-level accuracy, smooth repeatability, and seamless integration.
Bioprinting
Our compact, customizable stages deliver the fine motion control needed for sensitive bioprinting applications—without sacrificing speed or stability.
Precision Automation
Built for dynamic toolpaths and tight tolerances, our motion systems power precision automation and laser applications from development to production.
