Request InfoHeason Technology Ltd.SLINFOLD, England, Aug. 2, 2011 — Nanomotion has added a Z-wedge vertical stage to its FB range of compact nanometer-level micropositioning mechanics. Available in the UK through Heason Technology Ltd., the stages complement a modular and compact range of linear, rotary and goniometric stages that together provide multiaxis and nanometer-level translation in all six degrees of freedom. The FBZ075-10 has a classic upper and lower wedge design featuring a precision-grade cross roller bearing arrangement that maintains stage stiffness, with a side-mounted ceramic motor driving the bottom wedge via a ceramic strip.
