Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new single axis precision positioning stage model PMT160 - DC. Available in 5 sizes and strokes ranging from 50-300 mm this table offers a sleek low profile design with an overall height of only 40 mm.  Total travel is 50-300 mm in each direction with straightness/flatness deviation from 0.5 - 4 micron, based on the model chosen.  Included inside this aesthetic design are the drive mechanisms, a precision preloaded miniature ball screw coupled to a dc motor with rotary encoder.  Manufactured from high strength anodized aluminum, table weights vary from just 3.7 - 6.5 kg, yet can handle loads of up to 200 Newtons. It offers a positional accuracy of 10 -20 µm and repeatability of 0.5 µm.  Speeds up to 50 mm/s and accelerations of 0.5 m/s² are easily achieved.

The standard stage includes backlash free preloaded cross roller bearings for precise linear guidance and a 140 mm square top with a pre-drilled mounting hole pattern for bolting to the stage. This unit can also be configured in an XY assembly without the use of an adapter plate and several options are also available for this model including, different hole mounting patterns, integrated servoamplifier, vacuum and cleanroom compatibility and an electromagnetic brake for the vertical axis.

The PMT160 - DC is ideal for applications in the Optical Gaging, Inspection, Vision System, Bio Medical and Pin Insertion industries.
