Z-Lift & Vertical Motion Stages
ALIO presents: A family of high accuracy and highly repeatable vertical stages
Patented Nano Z®
ALIO’s Nano Precision XY Monolithic product is a 3-plate system with unmatched 6-D performance.
With years of testing, continuous design improvement, and unique manufacturing protocols, the ALIO precision crossed roller bearing stages have no equal for quality and performance. Our linear stage product family begin with 25 mm travel and go up to 400 mm of travel with motor and encoder options to fit your application needs.
Mechanical Bearing Z Stages
Provides Excellent Dynamic Performance
The Hybrid Hexapod® has less than 100nm 3-Dimensional 6 axis Point Precision® repeatability
Which makes it an essential technology for mission critical applications in the following:
- Laser Processing
- Optical Inspection
- Photonics
- Semiconductor
- Metrology
- Medical Device Sectors &
- All Micro-Machining Projects
Compact Voice Coil Z Stages
4x to 10x more precise than Z-wedge stages
- Compact design, low profile height
- Voice coil motors
- High rigidity crossed roller bearings
- Linear encoders
- Air counterbalanced
- Motor, bearings, encoder and counterbalance, all on approximate centerline of the stage
- Payload can mount directly to the face or top surface of the stage to eliminate the weakness and resonant frequency issues associated with additional brackets
GeoSymmetric® Z-Stage Linear Motor Drive with Magnetic Counterbalance
4x to 10x more precise than Z-wedge stages
- Sturdy design minimizing Abbé errors
- DC Servo Linear Motors
- High rigidity crossed roller bearings
- Linear encoders
- Motor, bearings, encoder, and counterbalance all on approximate centerline of the stage.
- Payload can mount directly to the face or top surface of the stage to eliminate the weakness and resonant frequency issues associated with additional brackets
Linear Motor Counterbalanced Z Stages
Motor, bearings, encoder, and counterbalance all on approximate centerline of the stage
- Nano-precision design
- Linear servo motors
- High rigidity crossed roller bearings
- Linear encoders
- Counterbalanced with dual frictionless cylinders balancing the load. The cylinders are in-line with the motor, bearings and encoder so they do not create an Abbé error.
Air Bearing Linear Motion Z Stages
Motor, bearings, encoder and counterbalance all on approximate centerline of the stage
- Granite base to ensure exceptional flatness and straightness
- Linear servo motors
- High rigidity, nano-precision air bearings
- Linear encoders
- Counterbalanced with dual frictionless cylinders balancing the load. The cylinders are in-line with the motor, bearings and encoder so they do not create an Abbé error
- Counterbalance brackets can be changed if required to assure counterbalance force is transferred through the mass center of the load.
