Page 4: Chapter 2 Overview
Chapter 2 Overview Introduction The LNR25 series stages offer stability, and high load capacity, making them an ideal solution for all translation applications. Designed with the highest quality linear rails available, the performance is further enhanced by using thermally matched materials that ensure its stability. -
Page 5: Drives
All stages can be bolted together in an XY or XYZ configuration for applications where movement is required in more than one axis. Fig. 2.1 LNR25 series linear long travel stage – typical XYZ configuration 2.1.1 Drives Stages are supplied pre-configured with either manual or motor drives. However, various motorized and manual drives are available, which can easily be fitted later as the application needs change –... -
