ALIO Industries’ Z-Lift motion platforms were created to address the unavoidable inaccuracies of Z-wedge vertical stages, as well as to reduce the footprint and improve performance of linear stages mounted in the vertical orientation. Every component in a motion stage adds to the total error. Since Z-wedges have a minimum of three machined components with complex angles, three sets of bearings, a motor via a coupling, and an encoder, the result is a very inaccurate stage. ALIO answers this with a family of very high accuracy, highly repeatable vertical stages.
