M-605 series translation stages are designed to meet the most demanding positioning requirements in applications where space is limited.
They feature a space-saving design with the ballscrew side-by-side to the motor and an extremely flat, precision-machined base of high-density, stress-relieved aluminum providing exceptional stability and minimum weight.
Integrated Linear Scale Encoder
For highest accuracy and repeatability, M-605 stages are equipped with integrated linear-scale encoders (direct metrology) providing 0.1 µm minimum incremental motion and 1 µm full-travel accuracy.
Heavy Duty and Maintenance Free
All models are equipped with high-precision linear guiding rails and recirculating ball bearings. The choice of components and careful mounting guarantees high load capacity, longer lifetime and high guiding accuracy.
Ballscrews for High Speed, Precision and Lifetime
The precision-ground ballscrew is maintenance-free and preloaded to eliminate me-chanical play. Its significantly reduced friction, compared to conventional leadscrews, al-lows for higher velocity, lower power consumption and longer lifetime.
A flexible bellows protects the mechanics from dust and spray.
ActiveDrive
For maximum dynamic performance, the M-605 series stages are equipped with the highly efficient ActiveDrive direct-drive system, which can achieve speeds of up to 50 mm/s. The ActiveDrive design, developed by PI, features a high-efficiency PWM (pulse width modulation) servo-amplifier mounted side-by-side with the DC motor and offers several advantages:
- Increased efficiency, by eliminating power losses between the amplifier and motor
- Reduced cost of ownership and improved reliability, because no external driver is required
- Elimination of PWM amplifier noise radiation, by mounting the amplifier and motor together in a single, electrically shielded case
Limit and Reference Switches
For the protection of your equipment, non-contact Hall-effect limit and reference switches are installed. The direction-sensing reference switch supports advanced automation applications with high precision.
Precision Assembly
Each M-605 stage is precision assembled and optimized using laser interferometers for performance testing.
