Unique Sealing System on Nutec Components, Inc. Stages Offers Enhanced Protection from Contaminated Environments


Deer Park, NY: June 1, 2009-The foremost manufacturer of precision positioning and motion equipment continues to lead the industry with a unique enhancement. The new CLS sealing system for NUTEC stages offers superior protection in applications with contaminated environments, an advancement that translates into a motion platform with greater long-term reliability, greater efficiencies and lower cost of ownership.

The CLS sealing system patented design includes a cleverly concealed linear seal under the 3-sided stainless steel top cover. This device keeps out solid debris, airborne particles and fluids. By protecting the moving parts with NUTEC Components' exclusive seal, the motion platform maintains consistent performance over its entire life-expectancy. As a result, the end-user will increase uptime and eliminate housekeeping requirements.

The CLS system is ideal for the whole range of positioning applications from super precision performance to industrial environment type applications. Typically, it provides optimal performance for Laser Machines as well as for equipment used for Semi-Conductor Testing, Optical Scanning, Industrial Automation, and OEM and end-users where bellows, tape seals or open stages are not desirable. The additional features of NUTEC Components' CLS sealing system offer even greater possibilities for a broad spectrum of applications:
  • travel ranges from 100-1200mm
  • various accuracy grades
  • linear encoders to 50 nanometer resolution
  • speeds up to 2m/sec
  • all ground-up metric design
  • high-force linear brushless servo motor drives
  • ballscrew drives with in-line or fold-back brushless servo motors
  • customization to meet application requirements
  • load capacities up to 500kg /1000lbs
  • X-Y table assembly from 3 to 60 arc sec orthogonality

    The CLS protection is a patented system and is available only on NUTEC Components' positioning equipment, including the linear motor and ballscrew stages from the Lineax-series, the flexdrive-series and the tracline-series. It covers the entire range from lower to highest positioning performance level and single axis, X-Y tables and multi-axis architectures.

    With an international reputation as the pre-eminent manufacturer of precision positioning and motion equipment, NUTEC Components upholds a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest engineering requisites for all products from standard modules to custom-made systems. The CLS system is the latest example of NUTEC Components' dedication to finding creative, effective, efficient positioning solutions for the global marketplace.
