Description
The OFSā¢ series has orthogonality āmachined-inā by the three-piece construction of theseĀ XY stagesĀ that employ ball ways. Both motors are attached to the center section so that they both move with the lower axis and the cabling only flexes in one direction of travel. The 1.5-inch-by-1.5-inch clear aperture allows OFSā¢ series tables to be used in applications requiring transmitted light, cable or pneumatic access through the bottom, or two-sided access to the userās part. The use of side-mounted lead screws with spring-loaded friction nuts driven by 17-frame motors achieves a stage body thickness of only 1 inch. The motors include rear-shaft mounted knobs for manual control, and locking motor and limit/encoder connectors allow convenient attachment of cabling.
Design Features
- Clear aperture for two-sided access
- Large 42 millimeter unobstructed opening
Options
- Motor options available: stepper motors or servo motors
- Feedback options available: rotary encoder, linear encoder with analog or digital (1 um or 0.1 um resolution are standard, other resolutions available upon request)
