M-686 XY Stage with Piezo Ceramic Linear Motors
High Stability and Speed, Low-Profile, Direct Position Measurement

  • Higher stability with self-clamping linear motors
  • Max. velocity 100 mm/sec
  • Very low profile of only 32 mm, no protruding parts
  • Travel range 25 x 25 mm
  • 100 nm, optical linear encoders provide excellent repeatability and accuracy
  • Driving force to 6 N
  • Self-locking, no heat generation at rest, no servo jitter
  • Excellent start/stop dynamics
  • Clear aperture 78 × 78 mm, 65 × 65 mm at full displacement
Customized M-686 stage with a bigger footprint makes it possible to sink the piezo Z scanner. The system height together with the P-541 piezo scanner is reduced to only 33 mm.
