The MS-2000 Low Mass XY stage from Applied Scientific has been specifically designed to reach thermal equilibrium faster with 3/4 the mass of a regular stage while retaining precision.
All axes derive their precise control through the use of closed-loop DC servomotors employing high-resolution rotary encoders for positioning feedback.
By using closed-loop control of the stage position, there is no chance that the stage will become lost, as can occur with open-loop micro-stepped stages after a number of moves and direction changes.
The MS-2000 XY stage utilises crossed-roller slides, high-precision lead screws, and zero-backlash miniature geared DC servomotors for smooth and accurate motion.
The microprocessor-controlled MS-2000 control unit provides for RS-232 and USB communication with a host computer.
