Translation Stages

We offer a wide selection of translation stages enabling motion in 1, 2 or 3 axes. The products feature exceptional precision, allowing accurate positioning of the optical element.

Wide selection of translation stages
Motion in 1, 2 or 3 axes
Exceptional precision
Accurate optics positioning

Our range includes various types of translation stages:
– linear, rotary, goniometers
– enabling motion in 1, 2 or 3 axes

We provide high precision during movement in any combination.

The mounting methods depend on the specific type. Some require sliding the table surface (by loosening a clamp), while others can be mounted directly.

Guide rail structure

Manual translation stages have varying internal guide rail structures. They provide exceptional motion precision.

Manual translation stages enabling motion in 1/2/3 axes:

Stages enabling precise positioning of an element in one/two/three axes. The wide selection of sizes implies versatility for applications in optical systems. We provide immense precision as well as restricted forms of motion in the remaining degrees of freedom: pitch, yaw, roll, and, in stages positioning an element along 1 or 2 axes, translation along the remaining axes. We offer a wide range of manual translation stages, which find many applications in optical or microscopy systems for precise adjustment of elements; however, if you do not find a suitable one, contact us for a custom stage.

– In one axis

– In two axes

– In three axes

Manual rotary stages:

We provide full micrometric travel over a complete 360-degree range. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the mounting platform. They are excellent for rotating diffraction gratings and prisms. Manual rotary stages are used where an accurate rotational position is required. We offer a wide range of manual rotary stages; however, if you do not find a suitable one, contact us for a custom stage.

Goniometers:

A goniometer stage is a type of rotary stage in which the axis of rotation is located parallel to and above the mounting platform. Goniometers are designed so they can be stacked, which means they have intersecting orthogonal axes of rotation. Combined with a rotary stage, full adjustment of pitch, yaw and roll about a single point can be achieved. They are used where very precise angular positioning is required. We offer a wide range of manual rotary stages; however, if you do not find a suitable one, contact us for a custom goniometer.

Tilt platforms:

They consist of two plates; the upper one is supported at three points and tilts the table using one of the three points as a pivot. Used to adjust the angle of the platform plane relative to the mounting surface. Our tilt platforms are designed to be compatible with other translation or rotary stages of the same size and mounting threads. We offer a wide range of tilt platforms; however, if you do not find a suitable one, contact us for a custom model.

Manual Lab-Jack platforms:

Sturdy height-adjustable platforms are ideal for mounting optical systems that require height adjustment. Our range includes several types of platform sizes and travel ranges. They are used to lift heavy equipment and wherever vertical positioning is required. We offer a wide range of Lab-Jack platforms; however, if you do not find a suitable one, contact us for a custom model.
