3-Axis Miniature XYZ Air Bearing Stage for 24/7 Automation

High precision 3-Axis stages are essential for many alignment and multi-axis positioning applications.  Air bearing-based stages provide the highest level of performance in precision motion - they are ideal for heavy duty-cycle high-end automation, manufacturing, metrology, and test applications. 

Due to the wear free design they can run in 24/7 operations.  These high preci sion maintenance-free positioning systems gather additional bonus points and when a motion principle also is devoid of particle generation, people who design products in cleanrooms, such as optical and semiconductor process and test engineers, are happy, too. 

PI's new A-142 miniature air bearing slide with voice-coil linear motor and linear encoder (5 nanometers resolution) can be combined into a highly compact 3-axis XYZ system providing high speed and dynamics.
