Product catalog summary
Stage Configurations:
The document describes the FB series stage configurations, including models FB050, FB075, FB100, and FB150. These configurations detail the width, motor options (HR4 or HR8), and standard travel lengths from 20mm to 300mm. The stages are compact and low-profile, utilizing direct drive Piezo motors and optical encoders for high resolution.
Encoders:
Standard encoder resolution is 0.1µm, with optional resolutions of 1µm, 0.5µm, 50nm, and 10nm. Optional limits and home sensors are available, particularly for the FB050 model.
Mounting Options:
Stages can be mounted in X/Y, X/Z, or X/Y/Z configurations using angle brackets. Custom motion systems can be designed for specific applications.
Motor Performance Specifications:
The document provides detailed performance specifications for each stage, including straightness, flatness, maximum load capacity, driving force, static holding force, and position repeatability. For example, the FB050 supports a maximum load of 7kg for 75mm travel, while the FB150 can handle up to 25kg for 200mm travel.
Encoder Options and Performance:
Each FB series stage is equipped with a linear encoder, with optional resolutions. Performance specifications include travel lengths, dynamic stall force, and stage mass. For instance, the FB100-100-0.1M8 has a travel of 100mm, a dynamic stall force of 32N, and a stage mass of 930g.
FBR60 Rotary Stage:
The FBR60 rotary stage features a compact footprint, high stiffness crossed roller bearing, and high-resolution optical encoder. It supports velocities up to 360˚/sec with resolutions as fine as 0.5 arc seconds, suitable for precision rotary motion with a load capacity of 5kg horizontally.
Additional Features:
The document highlights the compact design, robust construction, and multi-axis configurability of the stages, including standard and vacuum-compatible configurations.
FBR60 Rotary Stages:
FBR60 Rotary Stages are available in standard, vacuum, and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) configurations, featuring a through hole for accommodating wires or devices requiring a center feed.
FBZ075 –10 Wedge Stage:
  • Horizontal drive for vertical translation.
  • Direct position feedback with resolution ranging from 100 nm to 5 nm.
  • Capacity up to 2 kg with an unobstructed work surface.
  • Utilizes crossed roller bearings on an incline for vertical translation.
  • Linear position encoding directly on vertical translation to eliminate wedge angle errors.

FGB Series Goniometer:
Nanomotion’s FBG Series goniometer stages provide tilting motion about a pivot axis above the stage. They can couple two axes for tip and tilt around a common pivot axis. The stages use a direct optical encoder with a tape scale on the curved surface, offering resolution down to 1 arc second.
  • 4 available pivot axes for combined tip/tilt around a common point.
  • Range of encoder resolutions available.
  • Easily configured with any “FB” Series axes.

Nanomotion Motion Systems-1

StagesNanomotion Motion Systems Nanomotion's XCD in an OEM Drive & Control board designed for applications using our Edge, ST, HR motors (up to HR4). This board level control product can replace a traditional drive & servo control for a single axis application with a very small form factor. The XCD is intended for volume based applications as the communication and feedback connections are designed into the motherboard, based on customer requirements. The XCD supports, IA2C, SPI and Uart communication interfaces and takes quadrature encoder input, acting as a complete drive and control. For additional information on the XCD control boards, please contact Nanomotion. When the standard stage doesn't quite fit, Nanomotion will design a custom motion system to meet specific application requirements. In some instances, where appropriate, traditional step motors or DC motors may be used to achieve specific performance. Features • Compact design with low profile • Direct drive Piezo motor with a simple, robust construction • Optical encoders for high resolution • Standard atmosphere and vacuum compatible configurations • Wide range of sizes and travels — width motor options standard travels Note: Travel lengths to 300mm available in the FB100 and FB150 configurations. Encoders Standard encoder resolution is 0.1pm Optional resolutions: 1pm, 0.5pm, 50nm, 10nm Optional limits and home sensor (FB050 is home only) Available Mountings X/Y X/Z using angle bracket X/Y/Z using angle bracket

Wedge Stage Nanomotion’s Z-wedge stage utilizes crossed roller bearings on an incline to drive a center wedge through a top and bottom plate that coupled together. This horizontal motion results in pure vertical translation of the top surface of the stage. Using a Z-wedge configuration facilitates easy access over the entire surface and from all sides. Linear position encoding is done directly on the vertical translation eliminating any errors from the angle of the wedge. Horizontal drive for vertical translation Direct position feedback with resolution from 100nm to 5 nm Capacity to 2kg Unobstructed...
