13 Nov 2014 PI’s new M-417 linear stage provides 500 mm travel and half-micron resolution. It can handle high duty cycles and boasts high velocity of 100 mm/second. Precision recirculating ball bearings provide guiding precision in the 100 µrad range over the complete travel range.
A low friction ball screw allows for maintenance free operation and the integrated highly efficient PWM servo amplifier improves cost efficiency while simplifying installation and operation – no extra amplifier required. For example, the M-417 can be driven by PI’s miniature C-863 Mercury servo motion controller.
This low-profile positioning stage is well suited for automation and precision assembly applications
