Specifications
Features
Direct Drive, High Efficiency Motor
With direct-drive technology, the RGV series offers superior speeds and enhanced positioning. A high efficiency, brushless DC torque motor with rare earth magnets supplies an optimum ratio of torque per inertia for high acceleration. The non-contact direct-drive motor does not wear and introduces only minimal stage heating, with the temperature of the motor increasing by just 30°C at maximum continuous torque.
High-Resolution Glass Scale Encoder
Compact Design
Error Mapping Services
For critical positioning applications, Newport offers error mapping upon request for RGV series stages driven by our XPS advanced motion controller. We will measure, implement, and verify the results of this error map that will individually optimize each stage's position accuracy. In addition, multi-axis error mapping is also available. Measurements are made at 20.0 ±0.2 °C. A certificate of calibration will be provided with your stage. Actual data may also be provided upon request.
Accessories
Compatible controllers
Based on axis required, choose a specific XPS-D or XPS-RLD controller to pair with the stage.
Along with the controller, a driver module and a cable kit are required. See the options below.
