XZG Positioning Stages

Jan. 19, 2022
Optimal Engineering Systems' XZG Positioning Stages are ideal for alignment, mirror positioning, inspection, testing, and more.

The series of XZG Positioning Stages (X-axis, Z-axis, and Goniometer) are ideal for laser scanning, machining and drilling, for use on an optical bench, alignment, mirror positioning, inspection, and testing.

 

Built to order, a user can select from any combination of linear stages with travel lengths of 0.6 in. (15 mm), 1.2 in. (30 mm), 2 in. (50 mm), and 3 in. (75 mm) for both the X and Z axes that feature high precision 0.04 in. (1 mm) per turn lead screws. Additionally, any of three goniometers with +/-10, +/-15, +/-45 degrees of travel can be selected and mounted in a horizontal or vertical orientation.

 

There are four motor options: Stepper Motor driven axes, Three Phase-Servo Motor driven axes, DC Servo Motor driven axes, and Stepper Motor driven axes with Quadrature Optical Encoders for position verification.

 

Each axis is equipped with two limit switches to signal the motion controller for end-of-travel positions. The Goniometer axis has a calibrated scale for visual indication and precision pattern of threaded holes for mounting tooling or fixtures.
