Key Applications
PRO115SL mechanical bearing, ball-screw stages are extremely versatile, trusted and proven in medium- and high-performance applications, such as:
- Laser material processing
- Precision metrology, inspection & microscopy
- Electronics & circuit board manufacturing & inspection
- Display processing

Rugged & Reliable Mechanical Construction
A long-life recirculating linear guide bearing system, a precision-ground ballscrew and a low-friction sealing solution make the PRO115SL an attractive choice for industrial applications such as laser machining, precision metrology, and electronics manufacturing and inspection. The PRO115SL’s durable construction provides protection from debris while the side seals prevent particulate matter from entering the stage. The curved hard-cover design provides a natural shape that prevents excessive contamination from collecting on the stage. Capable of accommodating an ample payload range, PRO115SL stages are easy and intuitive to integrate, set up and operate and deliver an exceptionally long lifetime of consistent positioning performance.
Design & Integration Flexibility
The PRO115SL’s many standard features and options make it incredibly flexible, so you can easily tailor it to your application. The base mounting holes are accessible from the outside of the stage, allowing for easy horizontal or vertical mounting to both metric and English optical tables and other interfaces. The stage tabletop comes standard with a metric mounting pattern to accommodate your payload, process equipment or even another axis of motion.
Brushless servomotors are available with a variety of encoder feedback options, providing electrical resolutions ranging from 0.5 µm down to the sub-nm level. For vertical applications, the motor can be equipped with a fail-safe holding brake. Plus, PRO115SL stages can be configured with an optional motor foldback kit that reduces the overall axis length, thereby simplifying integration into space-constrained applications.
PRO115SL stages can be prepared for use in special environments by request. Contact us [link to contact page] to learn more about compatibility in vacuum chambers, cleanrooms and more.
Automate with Professional-Grade Motion
Our PRO-series stages are available in a comprehensive spectrum of sizes and configurations to accommodate an equally diverse range of user needs and application requirements. In addition to the PRO-SL series of ball-screw stages, our PRO-LM direct-drive linear stages are equipped with powerful linear motors for smooth, high-dynamic performance. PRO stages are offered in six widths ranging from 115 mm to 560 mm (depending on your application’s space constraints and payload requirements) plus travel lengths ranging from 50 mm to 1000 mm or longer. Also available in a vertical elevator-stage variant, our PRO-SV long-travel lift stages offer heavy-duty lifting capacity and can be easily mounted to PRO-SL and PRO-LM linear stages.
Aerotech PRO-series stages greatly simplify the task of building and integrating multi-axis assemblies and motion systems—whether you prefer to do it yourself or leave it to our motion and automation professionals.
