New IntelLIDrives Dual-Axis XY Stages Offer Repeatability of 10 micron

Press Release Summary:

Dual-Axis Large Aperture XY Stages from IntelliDrives are available with stroke of 100, 200 and 300 mm with apertures of 188, 288 and 388 mm. Units are used in scanning microscopy, wafer and printed circuit board inspection and automated assembly. The stages can be motorized with stepper motors and brush-less servo motors. Units provide fine positioning and control using stable closed-loop control system and joystick option.

Original Press Release:

Large Open Center XY Stages

• STROKE 100, 200, 300 mm
• APERTURE 188, 288, 388 mm
• REPEATABILITY 10 micron
• RESOLUTION 1 micron
• STEPPER, SERVO, SMART MOTOR
• LINEAR ENCODER OPTION
• JOYSTICK OPTION

The demand for a high accuracy, robust, open-frame stages is met with IntelLIDrives dual-axis, large aperture stages that address the unique needs of scanning microscopy, wafer and printed circuit board inspection, automated assembly and wide range of specimens and samples scanning in many types of imaging techniques and applications. 

Very precise fine positioning and control is easily achieved through the combination of a stable closed-loop control system and an associated joystick option. In addition, the stages can be combined with our Z Stages to form an XYZ stage ideally suited for laser scanning microscopy.

These stages can be motorized with stepper motors and brush-less servo motors with encoders

Optional high-resolution, non-contact linear encoder is available. This non-contact encoder offers exceptional repeatability and stability over a range of operating conditions. Both digital and analog output versions are available with resolutions in sub-micron range.
