New: Compact Micro-Translation Stage for Single and Multi-Axis Precision Positioning is Fast and Precise
PIs palm-sized motorized positioning stage combines precision with long lifetime components, making it more attractive to research and industry.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a top provider of precision motion control and positioning solutions for more than 4 decades, has released a low-profile motorized positioning stage - the M-122 - with a very small footprint of 60x86mm and a travel range of 25mm, best suiting it for research and industrial applications including fiber alignment, metrology, quality assurance testing, photonics packaging, test equipment, and micromachining.
The compact closed-loop positioning stage can handle payloads to 11 lbs, with velocity to 20mm/sec. The optical linear encoder provides 100 nanometers resolution and better linearity and repeatability compared to rotary encoder or stepper motor equipped positioners. Long service life and excellent guiding accuracy with minimal backlash are guaranteed by the preloaded ball-screw drive and precision crossed roller bearings with anti-creep cage assist.
XY and XYZ Combinations, Affordable Packages
M-122 stages can be combined to create very compact XY and XYZ systems. Combined with the networkable low-cost C-863 Mercury servo motor controller, M-122 stages offer high performance at a competitive price.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
