New! Low Cost, Dual Rail, Linear Servo Motor Stage Features 1 Micron Resolution!

Valencia, CA - The DR (dual profile rail) positioning stages are a series of low cost, very stable, linear motor driven stages with travel lengths to 160 inches / 4 meters from H2W Technologies. These wide footprint (to 15.6 in/396 mm) brushless linear motor stages have large load capabilities of 442 lbs/200 Kg, high continuous force to 445 lb/1978 N (1335 lb/5933 N peak force), high resolution to 0.00004in./1 micron, high velocity up to 200 ips / 25 m/sec, and acceleration up to 9 G's.

The DR Positioning Stages are ideal for use as the base or "X" axis in stacked multi-stage (X-Y and X-Y-Z) applications for: Vision inspection, pick-and-place, robotics, assembly, packaging, parts transfer, testing, semiconductor manufacturing, and clean room applications.

The low cost DR Positioning Stages are supplied with a non-contact, 3-phase brushless linear motors commutated either sinusoidally or trapezoidally with Hall effect sensors. Available options include: Matching servo amplifiers and controllers, a high resolution, non-contact glass or metal scale optical encoder or magnetic linear encoders with reference mark for homing. Water cooling doubles the continuous force to 890 lbs./ 3956 N, custom mounting holes (on base and stage), and a large easy access cable carrier that can accommodate additional cables and hoses. Typical encoder output is A and B square wave however sinusoidal output is available. These custom high performance stages have very short lead times.

H2W Technologies, Inc. is dedicated to the design and manufacture of linear and rotary motion products that are used in the motion control industry. The complete line of linear electric motors includes: Single and dual axis linear steppers, DC brush and brushless linear motors, voice coil actuators, and AC induction motors. Also offered is a complete line of ball screw, lead screw and belt driven positioning stages. Other motion control products include: Limited angle torque motors for compact, limited angular excursion rotary servo applications, 3 phase brushless rotary servo motors with matching digital servo amplifiers and permanent magnet linear brakes for fail-safe, zero power braking for baggage handling and people moving applications as well as amusement park rides.

With over 75 years combined experience in the linear and rotary motion field, the H2W Technologies team of engineers offers the optimal solution to the most demanding motion control, requirements.
