OWIS® high-precision linear stages LIMES 124-IMS: new with integrated measuring system

Staufen, 18.06.2015 │ For years, they are among the best sellers under the high-precision linear stages – the OWIS® LIMES 124. With their excellent positioning properties they are particularly suitable for use in research and development, where highest precision is required. The LIMES 124 are likewise ideal for industrial use – by their suitability for continuous operation. After a comprehensive review the motorized positioners are additionally available with newly integrated measuring system from the third quarter 2015.

The currently available LIMES 124 are controlled by an external measuring system that requires additional space. Compared to the original model, the new LIMES 124-IMS show a significant improvement on this point. Despite the integrated measuring system, the given size of the unit could be kept equally compact. Consequently the new high-precision linear stages are particularly suitable for use in limited spaces. Further advantages result from the specific placement of the measuring system. Centred under the slide it supports targeted high-precision positioning. The complete control of the unit, including the measuring system, is easily performed using only one connector.

The further developed LIMES 124-IMS are characterized by their high-quality and technologically advanced components. The integrated ball screw and recirculating ball bearing guides provide a highly accurate positioning with very long life. The backlash-free guides provide optimal motion as well as high load capacity. The highly resistant black anodized protective coating of the aluminium parts prevents almost all reflections or stray light.

The LIMES 124-IMS are available in different installation sizes and travel ranges of up to 290 mm, with 2-phase step motor or DC servo motor with encoder. All linear stages of the product line LIMES 124 can be combined and mounted arbitrarily, and thus allow flexible working.

Vacuum-prepared versions are available on request. Of course, the LIMES 124-IMS are of quality „Made in Germany“.
