The L-417 and V-417 reference-class linear stage families from Physik Instrumente LP are available in ball screw and linear motor configurations with cost-effective designs, high resolution, improved tracking performance, smaller tracking error, and improved settling time.
The L-417 precision heavy-duty ball screw model easily accommodates a load capacity of 450 N on its 166-m width frame with a travel up to 813 mm. With a synchronous servo motor, it uses rotary and linear encoders and can be relubricated without disassembly, further extending its high reliability and long lifetime. With a similar load capacity, width, and travel range, the V-417 is powered by an ironless linear motor and precision linear encoder. The three-phase magnetic direct drive transmits a drive force of 87 N to the motion platform directly, without friction. This smooth running at high and low velocities means no vibration and easy position control.
Applications include high-demand dynamics, precision, and smooth scan motion, such as laser cutting, scanning, digital printing, electronics assembly and inspection, automatic optical inspection, automation, and flat panel manufacturing.
