RodRail eXtreme

RodRail eXtreme linear translation stages are designed to run in extreme environmental conditions such as Ultra High Vacuum, radiation exposure or even cryogenic temperatures. The cage design, offered in two sizes, provides high stiffness and light weight in a narrow profile shape with several standard available lengths. This essential and reliable design matches high load capacity with sub-micron minimum incremental motion and high repeatability. Two micro switches and hard stops are freely positionable along the stroke to limit the travel range according to the application requirements. A manual knob with scale allows to move the stage manually while the motor is off. Optional double carrier improves load and movement capacity (eg. for multi axes assemblies).Cryo stages are measured in LN2. UHVS series comes standard with RGA measurement.

RRX-HL-UHVC

RodRail eXtreme Highload Ultra Highvacuum & cryogenic.

Precision Linear translation stage for ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic temperatures with high load capacity.

Invictus NCC-X Microswitch

Invictus Normally Closed Contact Invictus NCC are miniature micro-switches designed to operate in eXtreme environments such as vacuum, UHV, radiation and cryogenic temperatures.

Thanks to the high contact position repeatability they are the perfect choice as homing and end of run switch in micro-positioning applications.

HenAnt eXtreme

HexAnt is a six axis manipulator based on a

proprietary design of FAB Crea, the parallel

kinematic hexaglide concept: 6 parallel sliders are

moving an end effector connected with 6 stiff legs

and zero-play spherical joints.

The main difference of this design compared with the

Stewart Platform, commonly known as hexapod, are:

• low profile,

• possibility to extend indefinitely the stroke in the X

direction and

• flexibility to use a wide variety of linear translation

stages which are available for any possible needs

and environmental condition.

AntRail eXtreme

 

These miniature linear translation stages are designed to run in extreme environmental conditions such as Vacuum, High Vacuum and Ultra High Vacuum; this design matches load capacity, compactness and micro-positioning performances at a competitive price. Multi-axes assemblies can be done with simple and pre-aligned interfaces for X or XYZ configurations. The lead screw is nonreversible and keeps the position stable even when the motor is off, a knob allows to do manual adjustment which is always very useful in the system mounting operations before connecting the controller. The material choice allows dry lubrication for the highest vacuum requirements.
