We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rotary Stage",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release High-speed rotary stage offers spindle alternative from
Aerotech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ADRH 100 features backlash and cog-free, direct-drive servomotor technology with a directly coupled precision encoder for excellent servo bandwidth and maximum stiffness".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Rotary motion simulators provide high accuracy from
Aerotech: "Range is aimed at dynamic in-process testing of gyroscopes, MEMS sensors, accelerometers and other rate table applications requiring ultraprecise rotational profiling".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Aerotech
concerning its ABRT series
- take a look at Rotary stages excel at angular accuracy
which says: "Stages feature large-area air-bearing surfaces that are fully preloaded to ensure maximum stiffness, high load capacity and extremely low axial, radial and tilt motion errors".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, Motion systems suit precision applications,
as well as Laser probes are integrated into CMMs from Laser Design,
and Servo motors offer durable positioning from Heason Technologies Group.
