The F-690.S1 is built on a unique hybrid kinematic design featuring three symmetrically arranged XY nanopositioning stages with direct-drive linear motors and cross-roller bearings. Each stage supports a linear bearing mounted on a wedge with ball-joint connections, enabling full 6-degree-of-freedom motion (X, Y, Z, pitch, yaw, roll) with smooth coordination and minimal mechanical crosstalk.
The submicron, AU200-50x50 open aperture alignment stage from Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) with a 90 mm by 90 mm open aperture is the ideal choice for applications requiring extreme precision such as: semiconductor wafer inspection and handling, laser drilling and machining, testing, scanning, inspection, measurements, optical applications, medical diagnostic devices and instrument assembly, calibration and inspection, 3D printing and alignment.
As the industrial world becomes increasingly connected, the designer’s need for intelligent components that can communicate with each other and operate without the need for manual interaction is growing. Thomson, a trusted manufacturer that has always been committed to staying ahead of the technology curve, is meeting this demand and helping to usher in a new generation of smart actuators.
Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust solution for linear motion. With the help of a motion controller and a stepper driver, all SMLAs can be programmed to position a load to a precise location. However, standard configurations do not provide a feedback mechanism that tells the operator whether the move is completed or not.
A safer choice for customers, this rail system extends up to 2 meters (ms) and is suitable for many applications, including vehicles, furniture and medical technology. PTFE is part of a group of chemicals known as PFAS, which could be facing stricter regulations or bans in the future. Despite incorporating a new, PTFE-free plain bearing, the drylin NT-60-4 telescopic rail does not compromise performance. Igus experts have tested the robustness of the material at its in-house test laboratory. Rails carried a centric load of 200 Newtons (N) in a vertical installation, and the system remained functional after 25,000 opening/closing cycles.
New High Precision Dual-axis ZVR-60-60 Series of Lift and Pitch Stages have been released by Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES). These compact stages feature 60 mm +/- 2 mm (2.362 in. +/- 0.078 in.) of vertical travel and a vertically mounted rotary stage. The scissor lift design combined with precision roller bearings and slide rails assures smooth motion and very high parallelism throughout the raising and lowering of the table. The Rotary Stage is capable of continuous 360 degrees CW or CCW rotation.
When motion system designers need complex, high-speed, multiaxis motion, they might first think of elaborate, prepackaged robot arms. Or, if they need only a few axes, they might configure a separate profile or round rail for each axis. But hiding between those options is simple and proven ball spline technology. This multiaxis motion solution has existed for years and is still highly relevant to today’s complex motion schemes. Ball splines use a unique architecture integrating rotary and linear motion on a single shaft. This gives them more flexibility to implement complex motion schemes in tighter spaces, providing a two-for-one deal in motion control.
With the all-new Linear Actuator L product family, Faulhaber is offering a unique turn-key-solution for a broad range of applications. The smaller versions 06L/08L/10L are ideal for medical, lab automation, optics and photonics or space applications. The larger versions 22L/32L using the latest GPT gear technology, are designed for applications in the industrial automation and also optics & photonics. The linear actuator Faulhaber L family can therefore be combined with a wide range of DC motors, 4-pole and 2-pole brushless motors or stepper motors and are optimized to leverage at best the torque and speed range of the different Faulhaber motor families.
