MOTORIZED STAGES
Guide
Accuracy Verification
Motorized stage accuracy is, in principle, confirmed in compliance with the JIS test code for machine tools (JIS B 6190).
In addition, all measuring instruments are traceable standard instruments compliant to the national standard.

Pitch/Yaw Auto Collimator Company Standard 30,000

It has to be guaranteed that measured values and indicated values are within the specification range of international standard values. In other words, traceability must be ensured. JIS defined this traceability as “the capacity to trace measurement results back to the domestic measurement standards, with the use of measuring instruments that have gone through a sequence of calibrations with high-ranking standards.”

Accuracy Check in Assembled State

We check accuracy of motorized stages as a single unit.
Regarding the accuracy check in assembled state, we need to confirm use conditions etc. Contact our International Sales Division separately.

Accuracy Check at Delivery Destination

We cannot conduct accuracy check at delivery destinations.
We will request a check from organizations such as Japan Quality Assurance Organization as necessary.
Contact our International Sales Division separately for more information.

Roll
Stage strength against a load exerted at a position away from the center of the table top (the table center and the center of gravity of a work does not match).
It indicates the degree of tilt of the table top (″) when 1N load is exerted at the position 1cm away from the center of the stage surface

Stiffness in the direction of tilt around the axis in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of travel when moving the stage for full travel.

Stiffness in the direction of tilt around the axis in the vertical plane perpendicular to the direction of travel when moving the stage for full travel.
