Product overview
The stages in the PIglide are equipped with a servo drive linear motor with preloaded air bearings and integrated linear encoder. The combination of these noncontact components results in a frictionless motion platform that offers the highest performance, quality, and lifetime.
A high-force linear motor can drive the stage to top speed within a few milliseconds, and the high-capacity bearings can support payloads up to 60 kg. The laterally opposed, actively preloaded air bearing design in this model allows mounting in any orientation.
Accessories and options
- Encoder
- PIglide Filter and Air Preparation Kits
- Single and multi-axis motion controller
- Pneumatic lock/unlock option
- XY setups and individual configurations
- Cable track variations
- Options with counterweight for vertical (Z) orientation
- Customizations available
- Base plates made of granite and systems for reducing vibration
Application fields
PIglide positioning systems are ideally suited for many high-precision applications such as metrology, photonics, and precision scanning in semiconductor or flat panel display manufacturing.
Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide stages ideal for cleanroom applications.
