G280-IC High Precision Linear Stage
Positioning Linear Stage
The G280-IC is a high precision linear stage engineered to perform in demanding industrial conditions across a wide range of sectors. Exceptional stiffness and high quality components, including powerful iron core linear motors, heavy duty recirculating ball bearing guides and precision absolute linear encoders, give the series a clear performance advantage. G280-IC stages are optimised with high precision, non-contact absolute linear encoders, protected from debris by the stage sealing system. Precision recirculating linear bearings, combined with careful machining and assembly, deliver excellent geometric performance. The result is a stage offering precision, durability and reliability for industrial applications.
Iron Core Linear Motor
The G280-IC series of high force linear stages uses iron core linear motors, a powerful and precise solution across a broad range of applications. These motors deliver high power while maintaining excellent precision and accuracy, and their ability to generate significant continuous force makes them well suited to demanding tasks where substantial thrust is required. Iron core linear motors also dissipate heat efficiently, maintaining performance and reliability under high loading conditions and helping to extend motor life. The result is a reliable, efficient solution for applications that demand both high power and precision.
Applications for Linear Stages
Precision linear stages are central to applications demanding high levels of accuracy and repeatability. They are widely used in laser cutting, scanning, digital printing, and electronics assembly and inspection. They also feature in processes such as Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) and laser micro-machining, where ultra precision and accurate scan motion are required. In medical and scientific equipment, precision linear stages are relied on for accuracy and repeatability across every cycle.
