Zaber’s A-BLQ-E series products are computer controlled, belt-driven linear stages with integrated stepper motors and controllers. A built-in rotary encoder allows closed-loop operation with slip/stall recovery features. They are stand-alone devices requiring only a standard 48 volt power supply for operation. A knob at the end of the stage permits smooth manual control; press and hold to switch between velocity and displacement mode and turn to move the stage.

The high performance compact multi-axis positioning voice coil driven linear stages are used in positioning applications where high speed, high acceleration or high accuracy is required.

SFP draw wire unit comes to replace the ageing SFMP model, improving its technical features and adding increased benefits still at the same price.

SFP is a compact, reliable and rugged “cable pulling” measuring system designed for linear measuring and positioning needs in any industrial application. The principle behind its operation is very simple yet dependable and bases on a stainless steel wire which is easily attached to moving equipment. The wire is wound onto a drum. The typical back and forth travel of the moving equipment causes the wire to be uncoiled and then wound again onto the drum. An integrated rotary potentiometer detects the rotation of the drum and thus generates a signal which is proportional to the movement of the drum and the moving equipment as well.

H2W’s latest high precision, high speed custom XY gantry utilizes 0.1 micron resolution encoders for high accuracy and repeatability. The moving coil option reduces moving mass and increases acceleration. The bottom axis uses two voice coil actuators in parallel to double the force and acceleration capabilities. Can be driven with standard DC servo or DC linear amplifiers, and a two-axis programmable motion controller. Each axis is guided by a high precision cross roller linear bearing.
