200cri stages are an integration of our 200cr crossed roller translation stage and our 842 actuators.  By combining the actuator and the stage we have created a smaller package.  Our e series and MC2000 controllers drive the stage through a closed loop interface between the controller and the motor encoder.  The closed loop connection ensures 0.2 µm and 0.1 µm resolution, respectively.  The encoder coupling also enables the use of the DR1000 digital readout for repeated or relative positioning requirements.

   There is a quick reference scale on both the top and bottom of the drive housing.  They are available in either right or left hand versions and are stackable for XY positioning requirements.  The MX-AB2 facilitates construction of XZ and XYZ assemblies with single-axis manual or motorized stages.  The Z-axis can be located on either the front or the side of the horizontal stage to which the MX-AB2 is mounted.  It can also be mounted directly to an optical bench to create a vertical mounting platform.  High-speed versions available upon request.
