Dedicated to the Science of Motion INTEGRATED GRANITE MOTION SYSTEMS
Open the catalog to page 1WHAT IS IGM? • Integrated Granite Motion (IGM) refers to a type of motion platform, in which the core linearmotion components, including bearings, encoders, and drive mechanisms, are designed and assembled directly onto a granite structure. • IGM systems can be engineered with mechanical or air bearings, linear-motor or ball-screw drives, and a diverse range of feedback devices from optical position encoders to laser interferometers. Motion components, such as bearing rails, motors, and feedback devices, are mounted directly to the main granite structure. IGM OR STAGE COMPONENT SOLUTION?...
Open the catalog to page 2IGM solutions offer distinct benefits in terms of design flexibility and motion performance. From the selection of drive and bearing types to system layout and arrangement, IGM systems are custom-tailored to achieve your motion requirements, with offerings spanning from single-axis solutions to fully-integrated motion platforms. Several IGM features and options are illustrated below. Integrated Z-axis stage Convenient touchscreen operator interface Direct optical encoder position feedback Linear motor drive system Customizable riser height for precise design offsets High loadcapacity...

While each design is fundamentally unique, several more common IGM variants are represented below. MECHANICALBEARING • Recirculating-element bearings offer robust motion performance • Linear-motor or ball-screw drive options available AIR-BEARING • Granite air-bearing surfaces offer ultra-precise, repeatable motion • Direct-drive linear motors support smooth motion profiles HYBRID-BEARING • Combination of air- and mechanical-bearing axes to balance...
