Zaber's X-LRQ-DEC Series devices are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with high stiffness, load, and lifetime capabilities in a compact size. An integrated linear encoder combined with stage calibration provides high accuracy positioning over the full travel of the device. Each device is available in either an inline or parallel drive configuration. A flexible stainless steel dust cover prevents the ingress of small objects. The devices are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply. An optional indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer.
These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. The daisy-chain also shares power, making it possible for multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for secure connection between units.
At only 48 mm high, these stages are excellent for applications where a low profile is required. The X-LRQ-DEC's innovative design allows speeds up to 205 mm/s and loads up to 100 kg. Like all of Zaber's products, the X-LRQ-DEC Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate. These stages can easily be mounted in XY configuration without additional hardware.
