The three-layered design is machined from high-strength aluminum alloy for light weight and rigidity. The middle section serves as both the moving carriage of the lower axis and as the sliding base of the upper axis. This lowers overall mass to allow higher acceleration and increased throughput. The compact, low profile design also reduces angular errors to enable extremely high accuracy and repeatability. The WKY XY Stage is available in an open frame configuration option. This version has an aperture through the entire system to allow visual access to both sides of a workpiece. This is ideal for bottom illumination and can also be used in automated optical inspection (AOI) applications. The WKY XY Stage incorporates several high precision components that contribute to its dynamic performance. It is actuated by Anorad's patented LEM epoxy core linear servo motors. The zero cogging motors are sinusoidally commutated to minimize velocity ripple in scanning applications. The motors are also neatly mounted into the aluminum stages to reduce system footprint and overall height. Precision ground cross roller bearing ways also help to enhance the stage's performance. They are widely spaced to create a highly stable, stiff platform and feature PACT (Patented Anti-Creep Technology) to prevent retainer migration, reduce friction, and improve accuracy of motion.

The GR-XA rotary stage utilizes a revolutionary stainless steel crossed roller bearing with a unique preloaded worm gear drive to provide excellent stiffness in a variety in mounting orientations. The GR-XA s low profile construction helps minimize Abbe offset errors when stacked on a supporting stage while its aluminum alloy construction reduces overall system weight. The crossed roller radial bearing provides extremely smooth rotary motion with rigidity and load capacity greater than many competitive stages. Additionally, the selection of gear ratios allows for optimization of speed and load capacity in any given application. The GR-XA rotary stage offers several design features that provide unrivaled performance in its class. The unique worm gear uses a self-compensating factory set preload that allows users to achieve rotary positioning of ± 2 arc minutes. The GR-XA is well suited for many applications requiring precise positioning, heavy load capacity or automated rotary motion.

Z-Wedge Precision Vertical Lift Stage Product Features Compact footprint easily integrates into multi-axis positioning systems Ballscrew drive provides high stiffness and excellent stability Glass scale encoder for ultra-high resolution feedback Repeatable to ±0.5 um Rugged aluminum construction for lightweight and great value Cross roller linear bearings provide smooth motion and maximize rigidity Maximum travel 12 mm Ideal for: Autofocus stages Wafer scanning 360 degree access to workpiece High Accuracy Vertical Motion Stage. The Anorad Z-Wedge provides high precision motion control for vertical applications requiring 360-degree workpiece access. The stage design has been optimized for smoothness and rigidity by careful engineering of all critical positioning components. A precision ground ballscrew, mounted in rigid support bearings, provides extremely repeatable position control. A stiff metallic bellows-type coupling attaches the ballscrew to the drive motor to minimize angular deflections and maximize system response. The vertical lift stage rides on a set of high precision, preloaded ultra-smooth crossed roller bearing ways to permit extremely fine mechanical resolution. Resolution is further enhanced by collecting feedback information from a highly stable, glass scale encoder with a signal interpolator that provides nanometer level electrical resolution. Pure vertical motion is assured by a second set of ground linear guides along the Z-axis. The net result of all this engineering expertise is a compact, rigid yet lightweight stage that offers excellent stability, resolution and speed control. Rapid move and settle times as well as very tight constant velocity control are all readily achieved using the Anorad Z-Wedge vertical lift stage.
