January, 2023: Rotary microstage delivers smallest system size, fastest integration for precision embedded motion in smaller, more powerful instruments

 

The new M3-RS-U2-4.5-360 Rotary Smart Stage brings M3 Smart Stage advantages – high positioning resolution, smallest size, low power, fastest integration – to instruments needing precision embedded motion at lower cost for high-volume production.

 

With the built-in controller, the M3 Smart Stage simplifies the task of embedding high-precision rotary motion into scientific and industrial instruments. It provides point-to-point angular positioning with closed-loop resolution better than 0.022 degrees and bandwidth of ~100 Hz.

 

Applications include point-to-point beam steering and optical tuning in imaging systems, point-of-care and clinical instruments, next-gen sequencing (NGS) instruments, industrial measurement and spectroscopy instruments, laser printing and engraving systems, and more.
