PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. PIglide AT3 Linear Stage with Air Bearings A-123

Product overview The stages in the PIglide are equipped with a servo drive linear motor with preloaded air bearings and integrated linear encoder. The combination of these noncontact components results in a frictionless motion platform that offers the highest performance, quality, and lifetime. A high-force linear motor can drive the stage to top speed within a few milliseconds, and the high-capacity bearings can support payloads up to 60 kg. The laterally opposed, actively preloaded air bearing design in this model allows mounting in any orientation. Application fields PIglide positioning systems are ideally suited for many high-precision applications such as metrology, photonics, and precision scanning in semiconductor or flat panel display manufacturing. Thanks to the friction-free motion, no particles are formed, which makes PIglide stages ideal for cleanroom applications.
