Motorized Stages

Optosigma Motorized Stages are precision mechanical stages with integrated stepper or servo motor drives for automated positioning in optical, semiconductor, and industrial applications. They are available in linear (translation) and rotation (goniometer/rotation stage) configurations.

Linear motorized stages:
– Travel range: 10 mm (fine positioning) to 300 mm (large area scan) depending on model
– Drive mechanisms: lead screw (standard), ball screw (high speed), or linear motor (no contact)
– Resolution: down to 0.05 um with microstepping stepper or encoder-closed-loop servo
– Repeatability: typically 0.5-2 um bidirectional
– Load capacity: 1 kg to 50+ kg depending on stage size and orientation

Rotation motorized stages:
– Angular travel: 360 degrees continuous rotation
– Resolution: down to 0.001 degree with worm gear drive and encoder
– Used for: sample orientation, polarizer rotation, waveplate alignment, fiber alignment

Controllers:
– Optosigma SHOT controller series: multi-axis step/direction control; USB/RS-232/GPIB interface
– Compatible with LabVIEW, MATLAB, and custom software via ASCII command protocol
