High-resolution, high-repeatability XYR alignment stages from OES

By Miles Budimir | August 27, 2019

Share

Two new economical XYR (Theta) alignment stages from Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) offer high precision and repeatability for industrial, medical, semiconductor, research, and laboratory applications. The XYR-01-01 and XYR-01-02 Alignment Stages feature ± 7.5 mm of travel in the X and Y axes and ± 180° of rotation (theta).

The XYR-01-01 and XYR-01-02 Alignment Stages feature linear resolutions of the X and Y axes of 0.25 µm (micro-steps per step motor driver in use); the repeatability of each is 1.5 µm, positional accuracy is 5 µm, and backlash is 2 µm. The 1 mm per-turn ground lead screws and preloaded V-groove and crossed roller bearings add to the high precision and stiffness of these alignment stages.

The 60-mm diameter theta stage of the XYR-01-01 is driven by a 90:1 precision worm gear and the 100-mm diameter theta stage of the XYR-01-02 is driven by a precision 180:1 worm gear. The resolutions of each of the theta stages is 0.001° (micro-steps per step motor driver in use). Repeatability is 0.005°, positional accuracy is 0.001° and backlash is 0.005°.

Two-phase stepper motors are standard and a knob for manual adjustments of each axis can be replaced with an incremental encoder for position verification, or with a servo motor and encoder for closed-loop operation. These black anodized aluminum XY-Theta stages are easy to integrate into new or existing systems. Compatible motion controllers are available from OES and the XYR-01 -01 and 02 Alignment Stages can also be ordered as a complete plug-and-play system.
