![]() A new 50 nanometer resolution linear motor based XY stage, LXY25 series, incorporating cross roller linear bearing has been developed by SMAC Corporation. It has been used to solve a critical automotive part problem at a major Asian automobile manufacturer. The part is a machined aluminium casting with 3 critical bores machined in it. Required tolerance is less than 4 micron on each bore. High volume traditional machining results in a variation of over 20micron. The customer decided to sort into 5 categories to much the 4 micron requirement. In order to prevent rejects at the boundary between categories a maximum 500 nanometer measurement variation was decided upon. Since the part is a high volume one - one per automobile - a very precise and fast measurement instrument was required. ...More >>New Compact and Robust SMAC Programmable Electric Cylinder is Only 12 mm in Diameter
