translation stage / motorized / with position encoder

Velmex offers UniSlide assemblies with optical encoders for positioning that is accurate, in manufacturing and testing fields. An encoder is what these screw-driven slides use in order to measure the travel position and distance. Three encoder resolutions of 0.0005", 0.0001" or 0.000005" are in the offering. Its digital LED readout has RS-232C interface, zero reset button and inch/metric toggle switch. There are stages in four cross sectional widths of 2.5", 4", 6", and 9" for loads up to 300 lb. The travel range of unislide models is from 1" to 84." A lead screw clutch mechanism of rapid advance UniSlides saves repositioning time by using long units. Modular assemblies can create a multi-coordinate system.
