Air stage
With our excellent design, production and evaluation technologies built on our vast manufacturing experience, we achieve high-speed, high-precision positioning with excellent reproducibility.
Features
- ・Non-contact so wear resistance is extremely low enabling high-speed, high-precision positioning.
- ・Averaged results prevent impact by guide/table surface and grant high straightness.
- ・High reproducibility
- ・The non-contact support give products a long, maintenance-free service life of clean operation without generating dusts.
Example products
NEXCERA® air stages
- Reduced thermal drift
- Using the ultra-low thermal expansion NEXCERA® materials enables proper operation even under the influence of heat sources such as linear motors and sensors.
- Excellent repeated operation precision
- The highly precise machining achieves excellent straightness and stable repetition.
