OES's Pan-Tilt Positioning Stages Feature High Resolution and Four Motor Options

Four new compact high precision Pan-Tilt Stages from OES (Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc.) feature motor options to meet the precision and speed of travel requirements of different applications. The PT60 Series of Dual-axis Pan-Tilt Stages are the integration of two 60 mm diameter rotary stages capable of 360 degrees of continuous rotation set at 90 degrees to each other. These dual-axis Pan-Tilt Stages are the ideal choices for: Optics, laser scanning, reverse engineering, inspection, tracking, positioning, assembly, camera mounts and measurements. 

The PT60-01 (pictured) features a resolution of 0.001degrees (3.6 arcsec) with a 10 Microsteps-per-step Micro Stepping Driver and has a knob on the motor for manual adjustments. When greater levels of precision and speed of travel are requirements, other motor options are available. The option -02 is driven by Three Phase Brushless Servo Motors with Quadrature Optical Encoders. The option -03 uses DC Brushed Servo Motors with Quadrature Optical Encoders and the -04 option is Stepper Motor Driven with Quadrature Optical Encoders for position verification. The servo Motor options -02 and -03 offer the greatest resolution, repeatability, positional accuracy and greater speed of travel in closed loop operation.

The tables have a precision pattern of threaded holes for mounting tooling, fixtures, cameras, lasers, etc. Each stage is equipped with a HOME switch to signal the motion controller for initial HOME positioning. Each stage has a calibrated scale for visual inspection. These stages can be ordered with a fully plug-and-play compatible multi-axis motion controller, joystick or trackball and keypad for any motor combination from OES.
