OWIS presents two new series of XY Stages – CROSS and PKT(M).
All XY Stages have a flat assembly height of less than 50 mm and a free aperture for applications with transmitted light, aperture which can be closed by an insert plate. The user can choose between continuously adjustable hall and mechanical limit switches. Even when using complete travels, all mechanical parts are protected against dirt. Basic components such as base plate and carriage are made of high-strength aluminium. A black anodized coating protects the surface and makes it reflection-poor for all applications in the field of photonics. Optionally, the XY Stages for the Life Science field are available as light anodized versions. Thus, smallest samples or impurities on the surface are easily visible.

The XY Stages are available with travels of 50, 70, 100 and 130 mm. The dimensions of the square aperture correspond to the travels of the XY Stages respectively. Powerful step and DC servo motors are used as drives. All versions of the XY Stages can be mounted to complete systems together with the new OWIS position controls PS 30 and PS 90 as well as the comfortable operating interface OWISoft.
