The HL.500-XY stage has crossed-roller bearings for the ultimate in stability, linearity and reduced stiction under heavy loads.  We use 20% more bearings for improved bidirectional linearity over the entire travel range, with notable performance improvement at the end of travel.

   A variety of manual and motorized actuators are available:  manual actuators in 20TPI / 40TPI / 80TPI / 100TPI / 127TPI / 170TPI, differential micrometers, as well as open-loop and closed-loop drives.  The HL.500-XY has individual non-influencing locks on each axis that will hold the stage in place even under a 3g jolt.  The HL.500-XY is compatible with our MX-AB and MX-AB2 vertical mounting blocks; when combined with our 100cr or 200cr stages a high load XYZ stage system can be assembled.
