Steinmeyer's free 99-page FMD precision motion systems brochure is being offered by Armstrong Optical UK.
The 2009 catalogue features more than 35 different translation stage formats with hundreds of different configurations and options, making the Steinmeyer stages suitable for almost all movement applications.
Included are details on the dual-drive stages, which incorporate a DC motor for speeds of up to 120mm/s and a piezo motor for high-accuracy applications.
Applications are discussed in areas such as automation, semiconductor, medical and research and development, as well as solutions for challenging environments that require vacuum and non-magnetic compliance.
Products include the LT190, which offers speeds of 1m/s over 600mm of travel with 1um accuracy, and the HT160, which offers a platform Z-axis motion of 16mm travel, with 2um accuracy and 33um resolution for standard, non-magnetic and vacuum environments.
