The Triple-Divide linear stages feature our e•z•Trac system. With the e•z•Trac system, you can mount stages to each other, mount accessories to the stage, and mount stages to the optical table. Precision holes drilled into the track and coordinated holes in the stages ensure orthogonality to better than ±1 mrad for every configuration. They also allow for quick coarse positioning perpendicular to the stage’s fine-positioning axis.

The stages are based on a ball-bearing design and made of anodized aluminum with hardened and polished stainless-steel races. They provide smooth and accurate positioning over the full travel range with 0.5 μm resolution and a straight-line accuracy of 2.5 μm.

Our Picomotor actuators have a step size of < 30 nm, allowing for very small, controlled movements of the gothic-arch bearing linear stage.

Our Open-Loop Picomotor controllers and drivers are modular. You can daisy-chain up to 31 drivers together with four channels each, so you can have a network of up to 124 standard Picomotor actuators. You have two interface options with the controller system: hand pad or computer, both providing plug-and-play use. Alternatively, you may choose to use our TTL/Analog Picomotor driver.
