The Stage STLCCxxx is a large travel, low cost, good quality, leadscrew, stepper motor driven stage that offers 300mm x 300mm of travel in a thin (51mm thick) X, Y stage. While controlled in open loop, The stepper motors provide for no servo jitter while still maintaining a positive return force at position. An optional .5um resolution linear encoder is available that can provide closed loop control if needed. The stage has a maximum speed of 100mm/sec. The speed can be controlled via the USB (COM Port). The unit has a bolt pattern on the bottom plate that allows it to easily attach to your system. As always, we can add your custom design hole or bolt patterns (top or bottom) for you specific application. The leadscrew stage provides 3um (2um unidir) repeatability with a submicron resolution. The unit has an optional Z-axis control. If one our standard z-motor mounts that fit most microscope stands does not meet your requirements, we can design one that does. The stage system comes with our standard XYZ controller. There are two configurations of the controller. A desk top unit with built in joystick and an under the desk unit with remote joystick. Either controller provides precise control of the X, Y axis speed through an exceptionally smooth joystick. The speed is proportional to joystick deflection with velocities from as slow as single steps to full traverse speed. With the optional Z-axis, the remote focus of the z-axis is provided via a focusing knob on the controller or joystick. The unit also provides three user selectable sensitivities for the joystick and Z-encoder for added control. The unit can be controlled manually or through standard USB (COM Port) commands. The controller provides a display of X, Y and Z coordinates locally on an LED display. These coordinates are also available via USB (COM Port). Each stage axis has a built in unique serial number and EEProm for various stage parameters. The stage STLCCxxx is an economical unit that works well in a number of applications.
