Automated Microscope Stage (SSSC-03)
Automated Microscope Stage (SSSC-03) | Celera Motion Automated Microscope Stage (SSSC-03) Microscope stages move lightweight test samples within an optical or electron inspection system. These systems are typically space constrained and have multiple axes moving relative to each other in traditional X-Y-Z topology. Traditional linear dual sided linear motors are too large and offer much more force than necessary. Mechanical drive systems with ball screws can be noisy, vibrate and are susceptible to backlash and mechanical coupling errors. Celera Motion’s Javelin Series single sided air core linear motors are optimized for multi-axis microscope stages. Taking advantage of the lower levels of force required, Javelin Series motors are designed with very low profiles and as a result, stages ca
