High Speed Piezo Linear Stage, 48 mm Travel, Direct Encoder, Integrated Controller
Model: CONEX-SAG-LS48P
Product Series Overview
Super Agilis™ Piezo Linear Stages With CONEX™ ControllerThe Super Agilis™ CONEX-SAG-LS48P is a piezo motor linear stage integrated with a closed-loop piezo motor controller/driver that provides 48 mm travel and up to 10 mm/sec speed. The compact linear stage has a built-in direct read linear encoder enabling high position repeatability, for sample positioning, as an optics inserter, for focusing, etc. The innovation in this encoder technology allows the footprint to be maintained while delivering sub-micron bi-directional repeatability.
The CONEX-SAG-P controller's closed-loop algorithm combined with the direct read linear encoder, provides a system bi-directional repeatability of 25 nm. For stability in-position, the user can adjust the dead band parameter that stops dithering when the stage is within a set position tolerance.
The CONEX-SAG-LS48P is a very compact and inexpensive single axis motion controller delivered already pre-configured for the stage. The controller is accessible via USB, with options for other serial connections (available as custom/special), from an easy to use GUI or proprietary solutions using an extensive command set.
With MIM of 25 nm this stage is perfect fit for high precision applications also needing high speed. And it is easy to stack stages into a XY configuration without requiring an adapter.
To power the stage a CONEX-PS power supply is needed.
CONEX-SAG Motion Control
The CONEX-SAG is a very compact and inexpensive single axis motion controller. The controller comes with the CONEX GUI, simple and intuitive to use and conveniently accessible via USB, which also supplies power to the controller. It offers a closed-loop algorithm which is a simplified version of the typical DC servo loop control, and combined with the linear encoder, provides a system bi-directional repeatability of 25 nm. For in-position stability, the user can adjust the deadband parameter that stops dithering when the stage is within a set position tolerance. And for a more economic option, open-loop CONEX-SAG-LS stages are also available without an encoder.
User-Friendly Interface
A graphical user interface (GUI) allows interaction with the CONEX-SAG Controller. Through the GUI, a user can initiate moves, change the state of the controller, adjust parameters and perform other functions. The CONEX-SAG Controller GUI runs on Windows 7, 8 and 10 platforms.
Includes Agilis Piezo Linear Stage
The linear stages of the CONEX-SAG-LSxx feature an innovative miniature direct read linear encoder in the (P) models. The footprint is very small while delivering sub-micron bi-directional repeatability expected from direct read encoder technology.
Compact Controller and Stage
In terms of size, the CONEX-SAG controller is comparable to a deck of cards, only measuring 93 x 53 x 23 mm. Six controllers can fit on a CONEX-BP baseplate. The stages are also designed to easily stack as XY stage, without requiring an adapter plate, resulting in only 24 mm height. Both controller and stage are compact and ideal for space-confined or access-limited applications.
All Steel Stages
The full stainless steel body of the CONEX-SAG-LSxx allows for a more compact design with exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, greater thermal stability, and high load capacity.
