Zaber's X-LSM-SV Series devices are vacuum compatible, computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with high thrust and speed capabilities and a compact size. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply.
These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and they 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.
At only 21 mm high, these miniature stages are excellent for applications where a small profile is required. The X-LSM-SV is designed with vacuum compatible materials to minimize outgassing and allow for faster pump down times. Like all of Zaber's products, the X-LSM-SV Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate.
If you are considering a multi-axis system, in the XY configuration, these stages make excellent microscope stages. Adding an X-JOY3 joystick controller allows manual control of both X and Y or XYZ axes from a single interface as well as allowing microscope stage positions to be saved and recalled at the touch of a button.
