IKO has developed the TE precision positioning table for positioning applications that need to strike a balance between cost, size and precision. The TE table’s main components are made from high-strength aluminum alloy with steel raceways and feature a slide table inside a U-shaped bed. By reducing the parts count and optimizing the geometry of the components, IKO has created a cost-effective positioning stage that still delivers in the accuracy department.
The TE Precision Positioning table has a low cross-sectional height of 26mm for TE50B, 33mm for TE60B and 46mm for TE86B. Sensors can be directly installed on an integrated sensor rail, which minimizes table size. The mass of the entire body is less than 5 lbs. for a 20 inch stroke length. These attributes contribute to minimizing equipment size and energy consumption.
The repeatability is ± 0.002 millimeters, and the positioning accuracy is as good as 0.035 mm.
