Rotation Stages - Precision Rotary Positioners from PI miCos

19 Nov 2013

PI and PI miCos provide a large variety of rotary precision positioning stages with a number of different motor and drive options. Standard and vacuum compatible UHV versions are available. Options range from piezo motor stages to high-load air bearing stages with torque motors and belt-driven high-speed rotators with stepper motors. Applications are found in robotics, aerospace, synchrotrons, X-ray imaging, opto-mechanical setups, semiconductor manufacturing, research and biotech instrumentation.

Product Line Examples:

High End Ultra-High Precision Line of Air-Bearing Rotation Stages

These are equipped with a high resolution scale encoder and a direct-drive torque motor. Resolution down to 0.00002 degrees is achievable, with wobble down to 1.25 micro radian. The air bearing stages also excel with very low eccentricity of ±0.07 μm.

UPR Ultra Precision Rotation Stage Series

These Stages are very similar to the air bearing stages but are equipped with high precision mechanical bearings.

PRS Precision Series of Rotation Stages

These stages are equipped with worm gear drives and are offered with stepper motors and servo motors with rotary encoders.

DT Miniature Rotation Stage Series

The DT series was designed for applications where very small loads need to be positioned precisely.

Belt Driven Rotation Stages and Filter Wheel Rotators

These provide high angular speed up to 4000 degrees per second, are very compact and can take up to 6 filters.

Ultrasonic Piezo Motor Rotation Stages

Ultrasonic Motor Stages allow for the lowest profiles. The M-660 direct-drive stage features a height of only 14 mm, speed to 720 degrees per second and resolution to 4 micro radian with a direct metrology glass scale encoder.
