Custom Parallel Drive LSM
This parallel drive configuration of the LSM-E minimizes the total length of the stage with a side-mounted motor and shaft encoder. The compact form factor is ideal for space-constrained applications.
For multi-axis motion, additional parallel drive or inline stages can be combined to optimize the overall system footprint.
