Multi-Axis Mounting Guide
Building custom multi-axis systems (XY, XYZ, Theta, or Tilt) is simple with Zaber’s modular design.
Many stage families share mounting patterns and can be screwed together directly (). Others may require a specific adaptor plate or angle bracket to ensure a secure connection.
How to use this guide:
- Direct Stacking: The first table shows which stages mount directly to one another and which require an adaptor plate (flat).
- Vertical Mounting: The subsequent tables lists angle bracket(s) to mount stages in an L-shaped (XZ) configuration.

Standard
Upper Stage Lower Stage | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AP257  AP257 is only compatible with the dust cover (BLQ-C) variant. It will interfere with travel a standard BLQ. | |||||||||
AP257 The AP257 is only compatible with the dual carriage (LC40-N2) variant of the LC40. | |||||||||
AP257 Only LDM040 and LDM060 can fit on the AP257 adaptor plate. | |||||||||
AP257 AP257 is only compatible with the dust cover (LRQ-C) variant of the LRQ. Other LRQ models will require AP165 to raise the stage mounting surfacer before mounting AP257. | |||||||||
AP257 AP257 is only compatible with the dust cover (LSQ-C) variant. It will interfere with travel a standard LSQ. |
