PI’s ultra-low profile (14 mm / 0.6”) linear-motor driven M-692 series of translation stages was designed for high-speed, high-stability positioning tasks with limited space. These stages are the lowest profile closed-loop linear motor equipped micropositioning systems in the industry. Based on PI’s proprietary PILine® ultrasonic ceramic motor technology (US Pat. No. 6,765,335) these stages provide…
Rethinking the Micro Linear Motor
Up until now, linear motors have been designed primarily as flat stage motors complete with cradle and guide – a format that is not necessarily suitable for every application. But a new rotationally symmetrical rotor design together with a rectangular, flange-mountable stator, enables an almost universally applicable fit. The new design is largely driven by…
