Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a technical data sheet for MicroMini™ Stages and accessories by National Aperture, Inc., detailing specifications, configurations, and accessory options for precision motion control applications.
Specifications: It includes specifications for models like MM-1, MM-1R, MM-3, and MM-3M-ST, focusing on wobble, thermal stability, screw pitch, sensitivity, backlash, load capacity, and travel runout. Models are available in single, dual, and triple-axis setups.
Configurations and Models: Over 16 configurations are possible, with the MM-1 series offering models such as MM-1-CR and MM-1-SPR-090, and the MM-3 series providing larger stages with higher load capacities.
Accessories: Accessories include adapter plates, pinhole adapters, headless adjusting screws, and thumb grips, enhancing stage functionality and adaptability.
Special Features: The MM-1R model features a 360-degree manual rotary stage with coarse and fine adjustments, compatible with other stages for combined motion.
Motorized Stages: The MM-3M-ST model is motorized, with specifications for repeatability, accuracy, speed, and load capacity, including encoder resolution and vacuum compatibility.
Important Notes: Specifications are subject to change, and critical dimensions should be verified with technical support. Stages are compatible with metric and English units, with vacuum-compatible options available.
Motor Specifications: Details include motor types MTR-10-E-12V and MTR-10-12E-HT, electrical and mechanical specifications, and encoder details.
Procedures and Calculations: The document outlines procedures for calculating travel rates and encoder resolutions, providing conversion factors for units of measurement.
Standards and Recommendations: It advises verifying critical dimensions with technical support and recommends specific leadscrews and gearhead ratios for optimal performance.
Key Data from Tables: Tables list gearhead ratios, resolution, maximum travel rates, and electrical specifications.
Additional Information: Includes contact information for National Aperture, Inc., and notes on the availability of mating connectors.
