Cost-sensitive planar performance
22 April 2014
Offering cost-effective performance, Aerotech’s mechanical bearing, ball-screw-driven XY stages combining two axes of motion in a compact package.

Designated PlanarSL, the stages are suitable for applications ranging from surface metrology to general high-precision automation.
The PlanarSL comes standard with a precision-ground and preloaded ball screw. Unlike competitive designs where the ball screw is positioned on the side or off-center, the PlanarSL ball screw is engineered to drive directly through the centers of friction and stiffness, resulting in superior geometric performance and accuracy.
