Three-axis Yaw, Pitch and Roll Stage

The compact three-axis, Yaw, Pitch, and Roll Stages feature four motor options to meet the precision and speed of travel requirements of an application. The YPR-10-15-60 Series of Three-axis Yaw, Pitch, and Roll Stages are the integration of a 60 mm diameter rotary stage (upper axis) capable of 360 degrees of continuous operation, and two goniometers (middle and lower axes). The middle stage has a range of +/- 15 degrees and the lower stage has a +/- 10 degrees range.

Depending on the levels of precision and speed of travel requirements, four motor options are available. The -01 option is Stepper Motor driven and has knobs at the back of the stepper motors for manual adjustments. The stepper motors with a 10 micro-steps per step motor driver have a repeatability of +/- 0.01 degree and travel speeds of 30 degrees-per-second (roll stage) and 14 degrees-per-second (pitch and yaw stages)

 Option -02 is driven by Three Phase-Servo Motors, and option -03 is DC Servo Motor Driven. The servo driven stages offer the highest precision and travel speeds. The -04 option is Stepper Motor Driven with Quadrature Optical Encoders for position verification

These three axis stages are the ideal choices for: Optics, laser scanning, drilling, and machining, reverse engineering, inspection, assembly, measurements, tracking, and positioning

The rotary axis has a precision pattern of threaded holes for mounting tooling or fixtures and is equipped with a HOME switch to signal the motion controller for initial HOME positioning. The goniometer (pitch and yaw) axes are equipped with positive and negative limit switches to signal the motion controller that end of travel is reached. All axes have calibrated scales for visual inspection

Each of these stages can be ordered with a fully plug-and-play compatible multi-axis Motion Controller, joystick or trackball and keypad for any motor combination from OES.
