NEW COMPACT VOICE COIL DRIVEN STAGE FROM STEINMEYER!

BURLINGTON, MA, March 16, 2009 --Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new dynamic high precision, stage, driven by a voice coil linear motor. The application is a proprietary bio-medical device used for cell manipulation and testing. With an overall foot print of just 80 mm wide, 50 mm high and 145 mm long, the compact table weighs just 1 kg. It is available with a choice of two travels, 5 mm or 7 mm. By incorporating a Renishaw linear scale, the stage has a standard resolution of 0.1 µm (micrometer), repeatability of 1 µm, and positioning accuracy of 3 µm. Other specifications are available. Typical speeds of 1 m/s and accelerations of 5 m/s2 are easily achieved.

The Steinmeyer group is comprised of two manufacturing divisions located in Germany. August Steinmeyer GmbH & Co. KG (located in Albstadt) has been setting standards for high precision ball screws for over 40 years and prides itself on high quality, innovative designs to meet demanding customer requirements. Our Feinmess Dresden (FMD) division has been producing an extensive line of high precision positioning systems for well over 130 years.
