Micropositioning: Multi-Axis & Z Stages
Back to Introduction  |  Examples of Custom Designs
All models provide sub-micron resolution. Some Z stages can be combined with translation stages to form multiaxis positioning systems. Piezo options are available for some models to provide for nanometer level precision.
