GTS30V In Stock

The Newport GTS30V is a Motorized Vertical Stage, meticulously engineered for high-precision applications. It offers an impressive 30 mm travel range, ensuring ample vertical motion for a wide array of tasks. The stage's precise control is enhanced by its remarkable 0.1 μm Minimum Incremental Motion (MIM) capability, enabling fine adjustments with exceptional accuracy. One of the key features of the GTS30V is its low-friction lead screw, specifically designed to deliver ultra-smooth motion. The stage's versatility makes it an ideal choice for various applications, including tasks requiring long-travel vertical motion, quality control, metrology, automated device alignment, laser machining, microscopy, scanning, and semiconductor wafer inspection.

An important advantage of the GTS30V is its non-back driving capability, even under heavy loads, providing excellent in-position stability. Furthermore, the reduction belt between the lead screw and motor increases output robustness and torque, enhancing the sensitivity of the servo loop. The linear guides incorporated in the stage ensure precise and smooth motion, guaranteeing long-term robust operation. The crossed roller bearings of the GTS30V offer additional benefits, such as increased quietness and ripple-free motion, making them particularly well-suited for metrology level applications.

To maintain accuracy and reduce susceptibility to hysteresis, the GTS30V employs a linear scale encoder for precision position feedback. This contributes to the sub-micron MIM and prevents position drift caused by motion-induced heading of the lead screw. Setting up the GTS30V is hassle-free due to its ESP (Easy System Planning) and Plug and Play compatibility. The stage is quickly recognized and automatically configured without requiring any user input. This feature not only streamlines the setup process but also ensures safe and efficient operation. The integrated folded DC motor ensures ripple-free movement, while the vertical guide system, built from matched pairs of anti-creep crossed roller bearings, ensures reliable and stable performance.

For added convenience and flexibility, the GTS30V is equipped with a manual knob, allowing for easy adjustment when the power is turned off or when quick, coarse adjustments are needed. By combining the GTS30V with other compatible linear stages, it offers a space-saving alternative to traditional XYZ stacks of stages. This combination provides unobstructed access to the payload from any side and centers the payload over the bearing, minimizing Abbe-induced motion errors and reducing cantilevering load effects. In comparison to alternative wedged designs, the direct guiding method utilized for the crossed roller bearings results in more repeatable and lower runout errors.
