Linear Stages now have built in servo motors
Linear Positioning Stages with built-in integrated servo motors have been introduced by Bayside Motion Group.
By eliminating mechanical transmission arrangements, Bayside's rotary stage operates in silence contributing to an improved working environment.
In addition, the direct drive feature also helps to minimise unit size reducing space requirements.
Performance characteristics include zero backlash and, based solely on the unit's integral optical encoder, repeatability within +/-2 encoder counts with resolutions ranging to 0.5arc-sec.
It also has built-in limit switches.
The stage's direct drive is based upon a common-shaft mounted DC servomotor that provides up to 200rev/min with significant torque capability.
The CANbus compatible i-Drive, which is available in power ratings from 0.5 to 3kW, has a user friendly front panel with LCD display and six function/programming pushbuttons for entering all control, system and motor parameters, set point and error flags.
