Elevator Stages
By DE Staff
Motion Control Machine BuildingOES 60mm stages’ combines scissor lift design with precision roller bearings and and slide rails.
Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) released its AT10-60-01, AT10-60-02 and the AT10-60-03 motorized elevator stages. The stages feature tables measuring 120mm x 80mm (4.724 in. x 3.149 in.) with a vertical travel of 60mm +/-2mm (2.362 in. +/-0.078 in.) and a load capacity of 5.0kg (11.0 lbs). The AT10-60-01 (shown) is driven by a two-phase stepper motor with micro-stepping capabilities. The repeatability is typically +/- 5 micron and typical positional accuracy is 15 micron. The knob for manual adjustment can be replaced with a quadrature incremental optical encoder for position verification.
The AT10-60-02 is driven by a three-phase brushless servo motor with a quadrature incremental optical encoder for the higher repeatability, positional accuracy, and travel speeds typical of a closed loop system. The AT10-60-03 is driven by a DC servo motor with a quadrature incremental optical encoder. All stages require a motion controller and can be ordered with RS-232, USB, joystick, trackball, and keypad control.
