Monday, November 17, 2008
Model DT 65-LM rotary stage offers a low profile design with a height of 25 mm and length of 105 mm. The rotary stage weighs only 0.35 kg, but can support loads up to 80 N. Driven by a piezo linear motor, it has a positional accuracy of 0.015°, repeatability of less than 0.003° and a maximum surface run out of 20 µm. Speeds up to 360°/s and accelerations greater than 10,000°/s² are easily achieved.
The rotary stage is manufactured from a low-distortion aluminum alloy and is black-anodized. It is available with a direct-reading incremental angular encoder with 3,600 lines yielding a resolution up to 409,600 counts per 360°. Options include 10-mm-diameter center aperture, clean room and vacuum compatibility and different encoder resolutions. Applications are in the semiconductor, fiber optic, medical/life sciences, optical, laser systems, and miniature robotics industries.
