XY monolithic scanning motorized microscopy stages (platforms), Zaber

Home PRODUCTSComponents - optomechanicsMotorized positioningXY Scanning & microscope stages

XY motorized stages (platforms) for microscopy, monolíthic and compact: high precision micrometric and submicrometric positioning from the Canadian expert Zaber.
With external controller and built-in encoder option for closed-loop operation and position feedback with "slip/stall" detection.

For upright or inverted microscopes or stand-alone use as scanning XY positioning stages

Key features:
- Travel: 50x50/ 100x120/ 205x205/ 305x305 mm
- Accuracy in full travel range: 12/ 40/ 50/ 80 µm
- Repeatibility: 2 µm
- Max speed: 85 mm/s
- Default resolution (microstep size): 0.15625 µm
- Low profile and very compact: overall height 42 mm
- Crossed roller bearings guide on hardened stainless steel rails for smooth movement and long life
- Hall sensor limit switches, contactless, easy to setup
- With or without rotary (motor) encoder for closed-loop movement
- Dsesigned for use with the 2-axis stepper motor controller ZAB-X-MCB2: allows coordinated motion of the 2 axes (i.e. draw circles, lines, arcs)
- Support for microscopy software programs: µManager y MetaMorph
