A MicroStage system is composed of individual MicroStage linear positioning stages that feature a unique linear bearing segment design, which provides backlash free low friction rolling motion without sacrificing load capacity or smoothness.
Manufactured from aluminum, these low mass systems are available in a variety of stroke lengths, sizes, and lead screw arrangements to accommodate a wide variety of speeds, orientations, and load capacities.
The modular nature of the MicroStage Multi-Axis System allows it to be configured for diverse application solutions.
Each MicroStage system is powered by an AXI-PAK motion control package, including brushless servo motors, molded cables, and digital drives.
A wide variety of motor sizes, drive power levels, and cable lengths accommodate a multitude of application requirements.
Multiple AXI-PAK servo axis packages are controlled by the Thomson TMC-2000 multi-axis controller.
It is capable of solving most any motion problem, including point to point, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing, contouring, jogging, and user defined path.
Generous I/O permits interfacing with limit switches, operator interfaces, or host computers.
Supplied Servo Setup Kit software for Windows(r) allows quick and easy program editing as well as diagnostic and autotuning features.
