Excessive accuracy positioning and focusing for photonics, semiconductor, optics alignment, microscopy and superior automation.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a worldwide chief in precision movement management and nanopositioning methods, is increasing its portfolio of direct-drive vertical translation phases with the V-571.Z household. That includes a user-adjustable magnetic counterbalance, the V-571.Z direct-drive vertical translation phases are designed for demanding vertical positioning duties requiring excessive accuracy, dynamic response, and lengthy service life. The V-571.Z expands PI’s precision movement portfolio for photonics, semiconductor, optical alignment, and metrology functions.
The V-571.Z Z-stages characteristic a direct-drive, non-cogging linear motor that delivers friction-free movement and dynamic efficiency in a compact platform. The built-in, user-adjustable magnetic counterbalance ensures minimal holding present on the motor when working vertically, enabling environment friendly, high-acceleration movement with out compromise.
Key Options of the V-571.Z Vertical Translation Stage
- Designed and manufactured by PI USA movement consultants, in Shrewsbury, MA
- Person-adjustable magnetic counterbalance helps as much as 4 kg load with minimal motor load
- 25 mm and 50 mm out there journey ranges
- Direct-drive linear motor for top dynamics and friction-free movement
- Extremely-precision cross-roller bearings and encoder choices together with 1 nm absolute suggestions
- Compact footprint and sturdy efficiency for automation and alignment workflows
Even in its compact 95 mm physique width, the V-571 design achieves superior journey accuracy, flatness, and guiding efficiency in comparison with many bigger positioning phases, making it properly suited to vertical focusing, scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment duties. Each incremental and absolute encoder choices can be found; fashions outfitted with absolute encoders present 1 nm decision and eradicate the necessity for homing at startup, enhancing operational effectivity and security.
The stage additionally advantages from ultra-precision cross-roller bearings that ship clean, stiff movement with low upkeep over the lifetime of the system. When built-in into multi-axis configurations with linear V-571 phases for horizontal use, the V-571 collection helps seamless XY and XYZ movement options tailor-made to manufacturing and analysis environments.
“Vertical nanopositioning with dynamic efficiency and minimal motor load has lengthy been a problem in high-precision automation,” mentioned Matt Reck, Managing Director Operations at PI USA. “The V-571 Z stage solutions this want with a compact kind, superior movement expertise, and versatile encoder choices tailor-made for in the present day’s photonics and semiconductor workflows.”
Various Counterbalance Options
Whereas PI additionally presents pneumatic and mechanical counterbalance options, the adjustable magnetic counterbalance precept offers benefits corresponding to simplicity, flexibility, and compactness over the above-mentioned various options.
The V-571 Z stage is accessible now via PI’s world gross sales channels and regional workplaces. See it dwell at Photonics West subsequent week, sales space #3517!
