Motorized, compact high-precision XY stages from OWIS
The C-CROSS 205 XY stage, with a travel of 205 mm (C-CROSS 105, travel 105 mm), has been optimized for applications in measuring and testing technology, as well as in laser micromachining. Its closed design makes it ideal for use in laboratory and cleanroom environments. The small footprint in relation to the travel distance and the integrated cable management enable space-saving integration into laboratory and measuring devices.
The integration of high-precision aluminum components and the preloaded precision cross roller guides contributes to the low vertical and lateral deviation of the cross stages, enabling their simultaneous handling of high loads. The C-CROSS is available with high-resolution 2-phase stepper motors that are easily controllable or more dynamic DC servomotors with rotary encoders.
Additionally, the option to enhance the velocity is available through the incorporation of a 2:1 gear ratio, while the repeatability and positioning accuracy can be enhanced by means of an incremental linear measuring system. Furthermore, the stage can be prepared for cleanroom applications.
