Key Applications
ANT130L stages are ideal for high-precision and high-dynamic positioning applications, including:
- Photonics assembly & inspection
- Fiber alignment & optimization
- Optics manufacturing, testing & inspection
- Sensor testing & qualification
- Semiconductor processing & inspection
- Research & laboratory applications
Industry-Leading Motion Performance
Outstanding accuracy, position repeatability and in-position stability require extremely fine system resolution. Now available with an improved high-performance encoder option, ANT130L can easily achieve minimum incremental steps of 0.5 nm. Our direct-drive technology exhibits no hysteresis or backlash, enabling accurate and repeatable nanometer-scale motion.
Noncontact Direct-Drive
Only noncontact direct-drive technology offers the robust, accurate and high-speed positioning necessary for mass production of precision devices. ANT130L stages use our advanced direct-drive technology to achieve the highest level of positioning performance. Coupled with anti-creep, crossed-roller bearings, ANT130L delivers ultra-smooth, consistent motion with outstanding dynamic characteristics to enhance your process capability. The optimized drive and bearing combination, packaged in a compact form factor, offers distinct performance advantages in many applications such as high-precision positioning, fiber alignment, optics manufacturing and inspection, sensor testing and scanning processes that demand smooth and precise motion.
Flexible System Design
The ANT130L family has universal mounting and tabletop patterns that allow for easy system integration. Two, three or more axes can be easily combined for flexible system designs and multi-axis configurations. Also available in an integrated XY arrangement, ANT130L stages are easily combined with other products -- including ANT130LZ, ANT130LZS, ANT130R, ANT130V, ANT20G and more -- to provide complex, multiple degree-of-freedom motion and positioning solutions.
