M-562-XYZ In Stock

The M-562-XYZ by Newport is an ULTRAlign Linear Stage, designed to meet the demands of repetitive, high-use scenarios, including industrial, manufacturing, and research applications. The robust construction combined with XYZ positioners, makes this stage useful for precision positioning applications with its ultra high performance and precision fiber optic alignment functionality. This stage features a stainless steel body and incorporates crossed-roller bearings. This strategic construction choice ensures both long-term stability and exceptional linear travel, enhancing its reliability and accuracy over extended periods of operation. The M-562-XYZ boasts an angular deviation exceeding expectations, with a remarkable measurement of better than 100 µrad about any axis.

The M-562-XYZ’s performance is verified through testing on a six-axis interferometer, affirming the stage's unwavering commitment to precision. With up to six degrees of freedom, the stage's enhanced mass contributes to heightened thermal immunity, a key advantage in maintaining stable performance under varying environmental conditions. The inclusion of generous M6 metric hole patterns provides convenient and adaptable mounting options while the placement of actuators beneath the top surface level grants the M-562-XYZ the flexibility to accommodate complex platform configurations and oversized loads with ease. Leveraging a non-influencing locking mechanism, this stage effortlessly maintains submicron positioning even during locking or unlocking operations. For streamlined versatility, specially designed actuator mounting blocks enable swift and effortless actuator changes on any axis, ensuring minimal disruptions during setup adjustments. Additionally, this stage is compatible with a range of actuator types, including electrostrictive, motorized, and manual variants, offering unparalleled flexibility.
