XY linear motor stage enables surface profilometry and LED wafer scribing

Aug. 13, 2013
Aerotech’s PlanarDL-series of linear motor stages are available in nine different travel and performance configurations and are suitable for use in applications ranging from high-accuracy surface profilometry to high-speed semiconductor and LED wafer scribing.

Aerotech’s PlanarDL-series of linear motor stages are available in nine different travel and performance configurations. Anti-creep cross-roller bearings, precision-machined surfaces and Aerotech linear motors driving through the axes’ center-of-stiffness result in exceptional geometric tolerances (straightness to ±0.4 µm; flatness to ±1 µm). The cable management system on the stages is integrated within the stage and it optimized for long life and performance. In addition, the PlanarDL-200XY and -300XY stages are both available with one or two motors per axis, allowing optimization of each individual axis for the specific application and process parameters. PlanarDL is suitable for use in applications ranging from high-accuracy surface profilometry to high-speed semiconductor and LED wafer scribing.
