M-036 High Resolution Rotary Table for Precision Positioning

  • 360 ° Coarse Range, > 20 ° Fine Range
  • Precision Micrometer Drive
  • Piezo Option for High Resolution, Dynamic Scanning and Tracking
  • 30 mm Æ Clear Aperture

M-036 are high precision rotation tables for high resolution applications in metrology, test, and assembly. These high performance rotary tables feature high resolution, excellent repeatability and minimum wobble. The high performance precision rotary stages are equipped with double rotational ball bearings for minimum backlash and high load capacity. Both the rotation platform and the scale ring (graduated in 2-degree increments) can be independently coarse positioned over 360 degrees and then be locked by screws.

The basic version, of the rotary stage family, the M-036.00, is equipped with a micrometer drive and a zero-backlash magnetic coupling. The micrometer provides a positioning range of ±10.5 degrees.

The versions M-036.PS and M-036.P0 feature additional piezoelectric precision motors with closed loop feedback option for fine adjustment over a range of ±350 µrad. They also allow dynamic operation such as scanning or tracking. The .PS version is equipped with a closed loop feedback piezo drive (model P-841.30), while the .P0 version has an open loop piezoelectric  actuator (model P-840.30). Both drives provide a linear range of 45 microns and sub-nanometer linear resolution (see "PZT Actuators" section for further details and recommended drivers).

For the highest precision, and highest performance high speed air bearing rotary tables are recommended.

Upgrades:
M-036 stages without PZT drives or DC motor drives can be upgraded at a later date.
