NOTES:

· All trajectory data based on axis uniformly supported over full length on precision mounting surface with vibration isolation.

· Payload capacities are recommended values to achieve maximum lifetime in the worst-case scenario featuring maximum dynamic operation and off-center loading.

· Force, acceleration and speed performance are based on operations with NUTEC ELECTRONIC controls.

X-TRIM Features & Benefits

The X-TRIM features an ironless, direct drive linear motor with the drive axis located on the stages center line. This configuration avoids and yawing introduced in side drive stages and eliminates cogging, backlash and stiction by using an ironless motor.

An Integrated high resolution (12.5 nm) non-contacting linear encoder provides precision feedback for closed loop operation servo system operation. This standard configuration is capable of reliable Nanometer positioning

A select precision roller guide system is used for high accuracy performance and superior trajectory control.

The X-TRIM easily fits into many OEM packaging constrained envelopes; it has a Low profile and, small footprint.

The modular design allows stacking to create compact multi-axis multi-element systems. The design construction and material selected make the X-TRIM ideal for use in high vacuum and non-magnetic positioning system applications.

Only a non-contact direct-drive technology can offer the robust, accurate, and high-speed positioning necessary for mass production of precision devices. X-Trim stages utilize advanced ironless linear motor direct-drive technology pioneered by NUTEC to achieve the highest level of positioning performance.

 This technology provides high-performance, non-cogging, non-contact, high-speed, high-resolution, and high-accuracy. This unique drive technology offers a significant (several times higher) throughput advantage over conventional screw drive  or Piezo-drive-based systems.

Applications

 X-Trim™, very versatile positioning platform, designed for today's precision fabricating applications in photonics, optics, semiconductor, micro machining, precision assembly, biomedical and many other advanced technology uses.
