Ultra Precision Linear Motor Stages

with Built-in Controllers

At Zaber Technologies our mission statement is to Simplify Motion Control. As such, Zaber is the first company to build the controller and driver into a linear motor stage. Having an integrated controller eliminates the need to find a controller that's compatible with the type of motor; it reduces cabling and allows the device to be shipped pre-tuned. Zaber's linear motor products can also daisy-chain data and power to multiple devices, further minimizing connections and simplifying control.

Zaber’s X-LDM-AE Series devices are computer-controlled motorized linear stages suited for applications demanding outstanding precision, throughput, and reliability. X-LDM-AE devices feature high efficiency ironless linear motors, providing high speed and acceleration, while minimizing heat generation to improve repeatability. Both the drive and encoder are non-contact and have no moving cables, resulting in a high lifetime system.

Features include:

• 80 nm repeatability; 1 µm accuracy

• 25 nm minimum incremental move

• Direct position measurement from 1 nm resolution linear encoder

• 1.2 m/s speed; 3.5 g acceleration

• 60, 110, 210 mm travel options

• Built-in controller; daisy-chains with other Zaber products

• Non-contact ironless linear motor for ultra precision, high dynamics and zero backlash
