SYNCHROTRON & LIGHT SOURCE EXPERIMENTS

7-axis motion subsystem used for nanometer-level positioning of a sample for synchrotron beamline applications Continuous travel air-bearing rotary and 100 mm travel linear air-bearing stage provide precise sample scanning Small X, Y and Z stages on top of the rotary air bearing provide sample centering and alignment adjustments Screw-driven goniometer with six degrees of travel…

Integrated serial- and parallel-kinematic positioning solution with six axes of total motion All direct-drive axes with nanometer- and sub-microradian-level positioning resolution Rotary slip ring allows for electrical signal pass-thru of sample XY positioning stage Uncoupled dual z-axes allow simultaneous control of z and tilt motion of sample Example applications include sample manipulation and small-part inspection

The ABRX family of high-performance, direct-drive, rotary air-bearing stages delivers the most precise rotational motion available. In addition to bringing you market-leading axial-, radial- and tilt-error motion performance, ABRX stages offer superb rotational accuracy and repeatability, plus impressive load-carrying capabilities - all in a favorable form factor that easily integrates into your multi-axis motion systems…

We developed EPICS and TANGO drivers for the Automation1 motion control platform in partnership with laboratory control system experts at Argonne National Laboratory and Observatory Sciences. This means the motor drivers are ready to use and have an open source interface. Automation1 also has .NET, C and Python APIs for building Windows and Linux applications.…

Can’t find a stage or actuator that meets your exact needs? Whether you need something that is only a little different - such as a customized mounting interface, special cable management, or a different travel - or something more in-depth - such as increased load capacity, higher dynamics, or even a different form factor -…

Fully integrated serial kinematic tip and tilt motion subsystem Capable of making small angular adjustments via servo motion and custom flexure bearings Designed with stability in mind for processes where position must be held over long periods of time Applications include sample manipulation, optics and mirror adjustment and many more

Meticulously designed to implement 50+ axes of motion while maintaining performance specifications Uses a powerful Aerotech motion controller to coordinate the axes plus kinematically transforms Cartesian frames for ease of use Extensive metrology, testing and documentation Example applications include advanced metrology, inspection, characterization and scientific instrumentation

Motion subsystem designed to incorporate customer equipment on top of a continuous rotation rotary axis Integrated low-noise slip ring to pass electrical signals through the rotation stage High-precision air-bearing vertical stage to reduce geometric errors throughout stage travel Integrated pneumatic counterbalance to support vertically oriented linear motor and customer payload Applications include metrology and inspection
