Custom XYZ Gantry System
This XYZ gantry system uses the LRQ-EC series linear stages with dust covers to create a compact and protected system. Two stages are used in parallel to provide a stiff base for the system; they use the lockstep synchronization feature of the X-MCB2 to move together and feature side mounted motors to reduce the depth of the system. A VSR40A-T3 stage is used in the vertical axis to give the system a clear platform. The system is customized with tracking for cable organization.
Large Platform Vertical Stage
This image shows two VSR stages connected in parallel using an AP181 adaptor to form a large platform vertical stage. The VSR stages use the lockstep synchronization feature of the X-MCC to move together. This type of system is recommended for applications requiring higher stiffness, load capacity, and parallelism than individual VSR stages. Many different configurations with up to 4 VSR stages and 40 mm of travel can be arranged depending on application requirements.
Custom Large Platform Vertical Stage
This image shows a custom large platform vertical stage consisting of two 75 mm travel LRQ-EC stages and an AP181 adaptor. The LRQ stages use the lockstep synchronization feature of the X-MCC to move together. This system is well suited for vertical applications requiring increased travel lengths or high stiffness. Longer travel lengths are available.
