SmartStage™ XY Linear Positioner

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SmartStage™ XY Linear Positioner by Dover Motion is a compact and efficient precision linear stage with integrated control electronics, eliminating the need for external controllers and multiple cables. It is designed for various motion control applications.
Unique Features: The positioner includes a high-performance controller, encoder feedback, limit and home sensors, digital I/O, and a 3-phase PWM drive. It offers a resolution of 5nm with no backlash, ensuring seamless control and optimized performance.
Performance: The stage provides ultra-high performance with low noise and high stability. It supports high-speed hardware output for synchronizing with cameras or lasers, suitable for TDI imaging or laser processing.
Requirements: Operation requires only a power supply and a computer. Dover Motion provides a user interface, software libraries, manuals, and code examples for easy setup.
Specifications: Available in travel lengths of 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm, the SmartStage maintains consistent features, including a 5nm encoder resolution and high load capacity. Motor specifications include a peak force of 36N and a continuous force of 12N, with a maximum voltage of 48V.
Additional Features: The positioner supports RS-232, RS-485, and CAN communication, has travel limits, and includes digital inputs and outputs for high-speed triggering and coordinated motion control.
Environmental and Electrical Specifications: Operates within 0°C to 40°C and can be stored between -20°C and 85°C. Requires a power input of 24-48V with various digital input and output configurations.
Dimensional Drawings: Detailed drawings are provided for precise installation and integration into systems.
Technical Specifications for 200mm Stage: Designed for precision motion control, it includes dimensional drawings, pinout configurations, communication methods, and recommended configurations for single and dual-axis models.
Specifications: Mounting requires a surface flatness of 0.010 mm, with an 80 mm hole pattern for XY stacking and a travel limit of +/- 100mm from the home position. Includes multiple mounting holes and a hard stop set at 0.5mm from the limit.
Pinout Configuration: The main connector (J1) supports RS-232, RS-485, and CAN protocols, with specific pins for primary and secondary axis I/O, digital I/O return, and main logic and bus supply.
Communication Methods: Supports RS-232, RS-485 (half and full duplex), and CAN 2.0B protocols. Configuration switches allow selection between methods, with factory settings based on the ordered configuration.
Factory Configured I/O Options: Includes step input, trigger on position mode, general-purpose I/O, and encoder outputs. Stage velocity is limited to 125 mm/s in certain modes, with a standard resolution of 5nm.
Recommended Configurations: Suggested configurations for single-axis (SS-L) and dual-axis (SS-XY) models, with specific encoder resolutions and communication settings.
Accessories: Standard cable kits for communication, power, and I/O connections are available, including RS-485 & RS-232 and CAN cable kits. Customization options are available through Dover Motion Applications Support.

SmartStage™ XY Linear Positioner-2

The Next Generation of Motion Control Technology What makes a SmartStage Linear Positioner unique? A typical linear stage requires a bulky expensive external controller, motor drive circuit, feedback interpolation, limit and home input circuits, as well as multiple cables per axis. With a SmartStage positioner, the high performance controller and all hardware to position the stage are built-in. A SmartStage Linear Positioner delivers all this capability in an ultra-compact package. Dover Motion SmartStage XY What about the performance? Dover Motion’s unique, patented stage architecture embeds...
