MANUAL STAGES

• Low cost, a quality stage for simple manual control applications
• Thin cross-section (1.00") allows the stage to easily adapt to most microscopes including Leica
• Unique hardened steel friction drive for backlash-free operation proven to last much longer than rack and pinion systems
• Bearing slides made from single piece hardened steel use precision ball bearings for smooth, free running, consistent travel (other stages use split triangular wires)

MOTORIZED STAGES

• Precision motorized stage for applications requiring automation and ergonomics
• Joystick and programmable software control
• DC servo motors and rotary encoders in the closed-loop system for guaranteed positioning (other systems using stepper motors can lose position from external forces)
• Thin cross-section (0.96- 1.48") allows the stage to easily adapt to most microscopes
• Proprietary KORE-FRAME links X-Y axes in a single piece of metal for superior orthogonality and flatness (other stages use 4 extra components bolted together and are subject to assembly inaccuracies)
• Linear accuracy is laser calibrated to less than 1micron error in 3000; flatness and straightness better than 1 in 5000; orthogonality exceeds 1 in 10,000
• Repeatability within 2 microns
• Precision stainless steel ACME lead screws provide fine resolution of 2 mm per revolution
• Single piece hardened steel bearing slides use cross-roller bearings for extra precision and rigidity (other stages use split triangular wires)
