ZABER XY, XYZ & Gantry Stages
- Typical lead times are between 1 and 10 business days for standard systems
- Stand-alone or built-in controllers; optional encoders
- You can design an XY gantry stage or XYZ gantry stage with our gantry configuration tool, or you can contact our Applications Engineering Team to set up a multi-axis system for you
- Up to 1.5 m travel, 1000 kg load, 700 mm/s speed
An XY stage or XYZ stage is defined as a device that provides high precision positioning along 2 perpendicular axes of motion or 3 perpendicular axes of motion respectively.
A gantry stage is a type of XY or XYZ stage in which two parallel linear stages comprise the X-axis and straddle the working area, supporting either end of the linear stage that comprises the Y-axis. Some or all axes may be motorized.
Zaber offers a wide selection of XY, XYZ, and Gantry stages.
