Description
The XY Stage is a precision, high rigidity UHV specimen translator having X and Y motions. The standard mounting flange is DN 160CF. A DN 100CF mounting flange version is also available. The translator can work in any orientation.
Application
The XY Stages has been designed for ease and convenience of use. X and Y movement is +/- 12.5 mm, depending on the accessories that are fitted. They can also be used to reposition a chamber port with an axis that is parallel to, but slightly off, the desired direction. In this last usage it is sometimes referred to as an XY adjuster and is a very economical alternative to other devices.
Additional information
The XY Stages are mostly used together with Z Slides (see chapter Z Slides). After connection XY Stage with Z Slide we get XYZ Manipulator (see chapter XYZ Manipulators) with three degrees of freedom. The XY Stage can be fitted with stepper motors (see chapter Stepper Motor Shifts for XY Stages).
