The PD…S is unlike typical X-Y stages layered with one-shaft actuators that make access from the outside difficult. Instead, the PD...S is designed with a mechanism that converts the ball screw actuator’s linear motion into X-Y motion via two parallel shafts. With two motors arranged in one direction, the PD...S creates an open, accessible work area in a lightweight, compact unit with low sectional height. Along with X-Y motion, the stage can also provide diagonal and circular motion. The stage includes the PD...S’s integrated maintenance-free IKO C-Lube ML linear motion rolling guide. Additional benefits include fixed motor positions during operation and no need for additional wiring.
