Motorized Vertical Single-axis Stages |

These high resolution, compact, low profile elevator stages feature high stability 60 mm x 60 mm tables and 8 mm of vertical travel. High precision cross roller bearing rails assure very high parallelism and smooth motion throughout the raising and lowering of the table. These Z-Axis Stages are ideal for: Microscopy, inspection, metrology, positioning, photonics, sampling, and laser drilling and machining.
Driven by Two-Phase Stepper Motors, the DAG8-60-01 and the DAG8-60-04 Motorized Elevator Stages feature 3 micron positioning accuracy, and resolutions of 0.5 microns (with a 10 Micro-steps per step motor driver in use). The knob for manual adjustment on the DAG8-60-01 (shown) is replaced with a Quadrature Incremental Optical Encoder for position verification on the DAG8-60-04. The load capacity of these compact stages is 4 kg.
Speed of travel is 5 mm per second and limit switches prevent over traveling. The table of each stage has a precise pattern of threaded holes for fixtures or tooling, and holes in the base allow for easy integration into a new or existing application.
These stages require a
Motion Controller that can be ordered as a complete plug-and-play system with RS-232, USB, joystick and keypad control.
