1.1 Linear Long- T ravel Translation Stage
The LNR502 single-axis linear long travel stage has been designed to integrate se a mlessly into the Thorlabs modular
electronic or bench t op positioning systems. The unique combination of long-travel actuators and high-precision piezoelectric
elements provides solutions to applications such as manipulation, alignment and assembly of photonics products, and
microscope examination of large samples. When fitted with a piezoelectric actuator, the stage is compatible with the
Thorlabs
NanoTrak
®
autoalignment module, allowing automated or semi-automated optical alignment systems to be
constructed around customer specific applications.
Stages can be bolted together in and XY, XZ or XYZ configurations for applications where movement is required in more
than one axis.
