Optimal Engineering Systems Inc. (OES) is unveiling their new XYZ-goniometer series of 4-axis stages. Any of the three goniometers stages with ±10 °, ±15 °or ±45 °of travel can be integrated with X, Y, and Z axis stages with 15mm, 30mm, 50mm, 75mm, or larger than 100mm of linear travel linear in any combination of X, Y, and Z axes. These stages are choices for: crystallography, metrology, light measurement, mirror positioning, laser scanning, drilling and machining, reverse engineering, inspection, assembly, measurements, tracking, inspection, and optical bench applications.

Each axis of these black anodized aluminum alloy stages features high precision crossed roller bearings. The 15mm, 30mm, 50mm, 75mm linear axes feature high precision 1mm per turn lead screws and the larger than 100mm linear travel stage has a 4mm per turn lead screw. For higher resolutions and greater travel speeds servo motors are available.

This series of four axes stages feature four motor options. The -01 option is Stepper Motor driven, the -02 option is Three Phase-Servo Motor driven with a Quadrature Optical Encoder, the -03 is DC Servo Motor Driven with a Quadrature Optical Encoder, and the -04 option is Stepper Motor Driven with Quadrature Optical Encoders for position verification.

The Goniometer axis is equipped with a HOME switch to signal the motion controller the ZERO position. Each Goniometer axis can be mounted for horizontal (pictured) or vertical rotation, and they have a pattern of precision mounting holes for mounting fixtures, mirrors, etc. The linear axes are equipped with limit switches to signal the motion controller that the end of travel is reached.

Each of these stages can be ordered with a fully plug-and-play compatible multi-axis motion controller for any motor combination from OES.
