Wide base for large offset loads
Powerful dual linear motor drive
Designed for high-performance scanning and inspection
Air-on-air preload on all air-bearing surfaces
Linear encoder feedback provides nanometer-level resolution
High stiffness for heavy loads and excellent geometric performance
Four models with travels from 200 mm to 500 mm
The ABL1500WB-B is a wide-base, environmentally protected version of the ABL1500 series air-bearing stage. The wider base makes the ABL1500WB-B ideally suited for applications with large offset loads and it is ideal as the lower axis in XY stage systems with large travel. The ABL1500WB-B incorporates dual linear motors, effectively doubling the force output of a standard ABL1500 stage.
