Z Theta

Danaher Motion Image

The Z-Theta Stage adds a small angle theta-axis to our 0.5 inch travel Z-Elevator stage. This second axis adds only 15mm to the overall height, making the total collapsed eight of this two-axis assembly only 3.465". It is designed to accommodate varying sample thicknesses and provide theta alignment. The theta axis uses a leadscrew with a highrepeatability friction nut as its drive mechanism while a decoupling device allows precise angular motion. Both axes incorporate 23 frame motors and Hall-effect limits with lock-ing connectors.
