XY positioning stage

Custom Positioning Stage Another example of our custom linear motion system was a redesign of an antiquated, manually operated XY dovetail stage used in precision punch press equipment. The customer's goal to automate their punch press created a need for a custom motor controlled positioning system while maintaining the footprint of the existing XY stage. By designing a custom XY positioning stage and using crossed roller rails sets, Del-Tron engineers were able to create a high-load carrying custom XY stage that met their requirements. One of the design challenges was the need to create room for the stepper motors in the existing footprint. We accomplished this by mounting the bearing housings, lead screws and motor couplings internally to each axis while maintaining the travel requirements. An interchangeable top plate feature was also added to reduce their setup time to complete their custom linear motion system.
