Custom Design & Engineering of a 3 Axis Ultra High Precision Drive Stage with Linear Encoder for the semiconductor Industry

At Alpine Precision, we leveraged our sister company’s custom design and engineering services to develop a linear encoder drive stage for an OEM. The exceptional mechanical design ensured the linear encoder’s X, Y and Z axes met the client’s range of motion, resolution, repeatability and maximum velocity specifications. This sophisticated stage highlighted and advanced nano-stepping drive package and a software that stored and recalled all the axis coordinates while allowing several different forms of addressing.

When manufacturing the linear encoder drive stage, we utilized high-precision linear bearings and ball screw assemblies in addition to high-vacuum compatible step motors. The PTFE wiring provided durability as well as high-vacuum compatibility. Our rigorous and uncompromising manufacturing process combined with our in-house service and technical support ensured our customer benefited from a linear encoder drive stage that was as durable and reliable as it was precise.
