LINEAR STAGE

nPL70Z Stage

nPL70Z Stage Linear Motor Stage

The nPL70Z is a high-performance vertical linear motor stage designed for fast, precise Z-axis positioning in demanding applications. Featuring direct-drive linear motor technology and optional magnetic or pneumatic counterbalance systems, it delivers smooth, backlash-free motion with high acceleration, rapid settling, and excellent repeatability.

With configurable motors, high-resolution encoder options, and cleanroom compatibility, the nPL70Z is ideal for automated microscopy, semiconductor inspection, precision metrology, and Z-focus applications.

Key Features

The nPL70 stages feature a high-precision, compact design that enables seamless stacked configurations. These high-eciency stages are excellent for scanning applications that require fast acceleration and velocity control.

Multiple motor and resolution configurations, combined with a low 25mm profile, provide optimum motion control for precision scanning applications ranging from Semiconductor Fabrication to Life Sciences.

The ironless linear motor, coupled with unique windings, eliminates cogging while maintaining high force density and smooth motion. High precision anti-creep cross-roller bearings maximize stiness and minimize o-axis and angular errors.
