Original Press Release:
SKF® "PICO" Miniature Linear Stage Ideal for "Pick-and-Place" Positioning Applications
The new "PICO" Series ball screw-driven miniature linear stage introduced by SKF Motion Technologies (Bethlehem, PA) provides a compact and reliable solution for high-precision "pick-and-place" positioning applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, high-tech, packaging, and automation industries.
The stage uniquely integrates drive and guidance mechanisms utilizing standard SKF components (precision ground ball screws and miniature profile rail guides), which promotes high-performance and customization capabilities to satisfy the most demanding requirements.
PICO stages are available in two sizes (60mm and 80mm) and five standard stroke lengths for each size. They offer the high load-carrying capacity of drive screws; high running accuracy; and high moment stiffness. Travel speeds up to 500 mm/sec can be achieved.
Standard features include an extruded aluminum base allowing for use in similar applications requiring different stroke lengths; stainless steel cover for corrosion-resistance; limit switches with plug attachment; and axes designed for cross-table assembly.
Options include stepper motor package; attachment of linear measurement systems; and variable multi-axis assembly. PICO stages can further be customized to meet particular specifications.
