M-500 Series PIIntelliStages™ are designed to meet demanding positioning requirements at minimum expense.
High Level of Integration
Because of the high level of integration, PIIntelliStages™ contain less than 50% of the components of a classical controller/stage setup (electronics, mechanics and cables!). This fact automatically increases the reliability and eliminates the potential of incompatibility.
Mechanically, the stages feature an ultra-stable, lightweight base precision machined from high-density, stress-relieved aluminum. The functional flat design allows multi-axis combinations.
Precision-ground recirculating ballscrews (higher precision than rolled ballscrews) with preloaded nuts provide low-friction, backlash-free positioning. High-precision linear guiding rails with recirculating ball bearings (no cage migration!) guarantee 1 µm/100 mm straightness and flatness. A high-resolution, 5-phase stepper motor with 20,000 steps/revolution provides minimum incremental motion of 0.1 µm.
Non-Contact Limit and Origin Switches
Integrated, high-precision, non-contact Hall-effect origin and limit switches with direction sensing on the origin switch protect your equipment and increase versatility in automation applications.
Setup and Daisy-Chain Feature
Setting up the PIIntelliStage™ is very easy. Connect one end of the cable (included) to the RS-232 interface of the PC and to the power supply (included), the other end to the stage and start the software (included). PIIntelliStages™ can be easily daisy-chain networked to form multi-axis motion-control systems—no extra parts are required. Whenever an additional stage is needed, it can be added and controlled from the same PC off the same interface (see drawing). Up to 27 PIIntelliStages™ can be daisy-chain networked.
