SmartStage™ Shuttle Long Travel Linear Stage

SmartStage™ Shuttle is the product of choice for high performance applications requiring a large travel range, combined with rapid, precise positioning of large masses.

• Can be used for point to point moves or long constant velocity scans
• Coordinated motion with other stages
• Stack a SmartStage Linear on top for high throughput XY sample imaging motion

Supports applications such as:

• Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
• Digital cell morphology
• Automated digital pathology
• Optical metrology instruments
• Semiconductor and nanotechnology imaging
• Digital microscopes
• High content imaging
• Automated cell counting

High Resolution Trigger On Position for Image Capture or Laser Synchronization

• High speed hardware output with < 1 nm resolution for synchronizing stage position with a camera or laser. Ideal for triggering during motion commonly required for TDI Imaging or laser processing.
• A high-speed Trigger On Position output allows precise synchronization of a camera, laser, or other peripheral device with the exact position of the stage. Triggering is configurable at either fixed incremental intervals, or at arbitrary intervals using a user-defined look up table.

Coordinated Motion

• User defined profile mode (UDP) allows stages to coordinate motion using auxiliary inputs. Stages can be driven by another axis or external source to follow defined motion curves based off the input.

Options:

Stacked SmartStage Shuttle-to-SmartStage Linear, XY combinations, should be ordered as such from the factory. Dover Motion will perform ribbon cable interconnection, and precise squaring of the stages in the factory. These features are not customer-adjustable.

Optional Magnet Track Cover:

The magnet cover (table bridge specifically) shifts the 8 mounting holes upwards but it is an otherwise identical 75mm square and 80mm square patterns of M3 tapped holes, as the non-cover option*.
