Use our Precision Z-wedge designs for vertical applications that require High stiffness, Accuracy and Repeatability with no vertical stage obstruction. Our Z-wedge stages can be provided in an assortment of configurations best suited to meet load, envelop and precision specifications. The wedges can be actuated with direct drive linear servo motors as well as stepper or servo drive screws.

There a many benefits that screw stages can add to any project. To help qualify their use some of the benefits and drawbacks are listed below Benefits: Cost – applications using lead or acme screws Thrust capabilities – tremendous mechanical advantage Simple to setup Good for vertical applications Easy to add external brake or encoder >Repeatability – Sufficient for many applications

At ibex Engineering Linear servo stages can be developed with a variety of motor and bearing types to meet the most demanding positioning applications. For more information click on the link above to view the many possibilities.

Ibex voice coil actuators offer a variety of benefits overtraditional screw and U-shaped servo stages in that they are offer high acceleration, smooth cog-free velocity, direct drive, high force and high stiffness in a compact design. Having the flexibility of using voice coil technology allows ibex to provide cost effective high performance motor technologies where more traditional technology would not physically fit. Voice coil actuators offered by Ibex are just another tool to help you expand your process and machine capabilities. Voice coil technology can be found in a plethora of different applications across many markets such as: Aerospace and defense, medical device manufacturing, life science, drug discovery, semi-conductor, disc drive, packaging, automated tooling, telecom and electronic assembly. Ultra High Short Stroke Speed High Duty High Force Compact

If you are in need of a linear servo stage you have come to the right place. Ibex Engineering has a vast reputation for being able to integrate any motor technology to create the best fit solutions to meet the specific needs of our oem customers. Combine this superior level of skill and engineering expertise with a business model that supports competitive pricing on custom equipment and the result is innovative products that help our customers succeed. Linear stage configurations are usually defined by the type of motor used. The motor selection is driven by the type of application or by customer specification. All of the available motor types have benefits and drawbacks, so we carefully select the motor type that is most suitable to meet the required specification for final use. Ibex has extensive experience with all types of linear motors but specifically employs the following types: Piezo-Ceramic Servo Ironless Core Linear ServoIronless Linear Servo Stage Shaft Type U or C channel Single sided Iron Core Linear Servo Voice Coil DC Linear Servo

Using a hexapod allows you 6 axis of freedom X, Y, Z, ThetaZ, ThetaX and ThetaY. This is accomplished by the actuation of the 6 precision linear servo actuators that are connected to a base and a top plate in a truss type configuration. These highly stiff actuators can be noted as the fastest positioning hexapod in the industry. Since our linear servo hexapods are designed to order we can offer configurations that range from a few millimeters in stroke to a meter for almost any load. The top and bottom plates can also be custom configured for any applications. Hexapods and tripods are typically used in the following applications: Micromanipulation Optics Bio medical Life Science Drug discovery Semiconductor

Goniometer or Goniometric stages are typically used tokinematic_stack rotate an object in an arc about a point in space. The point in space is defined by the bearings arc. Common radius’s used for Goniometer bearings are 60mm, 90mm 100mm or 160mm and rotate in an arc from +- 3 degrees to approximately +- 15 degrees with the most common types using +- 10 degrees. Stacking 2 Goniometric stages centering about the same point allows for unobstructed but limited spherical type motion. Ibex manufactures an array of standard and custom Goniometric stages that utilize a number of different bearing types from Crossed Roller bearings to air bearings using a number of motor technologies including Piezo servo motors and stepper or servo driven screws. At Ibex Engineering standard and non-standard strokes or radii have been and can be custom developed for those most demanding applications.
