PI’s new V-817 linear translation stage series and high performance Ethercat Motion Controllers are designed for precision automation in medical device manufacturing, laser micro-machining, lens alignment, additive manufacturing, and semiconductor test / inspection.
August 14, 2020 – The new V-817 linear translation stages are equipped with high performance maintenance-free linear motors and feature high load capacities of 60kg (130 lbs). Straight linear motion is guaranteed by robust and accurate recirculating bearing guides. Available travel ranges start at 200mm (8 inches) all the way to 813mm (32 inches). High resolution optical linear position sensors provide up to 1 nanometer resolution and can keep up with the high velocity of up to 3000mm/sec (118 inch/sec).
The wear-free, 3-phase electromagnetic linear motors are frictionless and guarantee a virtually unlimited service life.
XY Translation Stage Configurations
V-817 linear translation stages can be easily combined to provide high precision, low-profile XY-motion.
Motion Controller Family with EtherCat Connectivity
The V-817 low profile linear translation stages are compatible with the new G-901 industrial motion controller family. These high-performance controllers are based on ACS drive and control modules, providing up to 1500W output per axis. Many sophisticated control features, such as Servoboost, NanoPWM and advanced algorithms for high speed contouring, virtual axes (Gantry Control), 3rd party device triggering, etc. are available and improve the throughput and performance in applications from Laser Machining to 3D Printing.
