Dover Motion's motorized stages include motorized translation stages with up to 635 mm of travel, XY tables, vertical Z stages, and microscope stages. Each motorized stage features stepper and servo single and multi-axis motors, built-in motion controllers, and optimal travel time for precision motion. As a leader in creating motion solutions for the life sciences industry, we also specialize in manufacturing standard and custom motorized optical stages that meet higher precision and accuracy requirements for use with optical instruments, including microscopes and cameras.

A motorized stage with a linear motor requires a linear feedback device as well as a servo drive and control to close a position feedback loop. With a high-resolution linear encoder, linear actuators can provide position control down to the nanometer level. A typical application for high precision linear actuators is to control the focus of a microscope objective in a digital imaging system.

Our screw driven motorized stages range from stages with monolithic integrated XY centers to low-cost, single axis stages with crossed roller ways and stepper motors.

Motor: The motor is the driving force behind the stage's movement. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to move the stage platform.

Our Z stages offering includes traditional Z stages for objective focusing and Z stages for sample positioning or Z-Lift stages .

Sensors: Sensors are used to measure the stage's position, velocity, and acceleration. They provide feedback to the controller, allowing it to maintain precise control over the stage's movement.

Linear StageActuator

In mirrors, the reflection depends on the angle of incidence, but in retroreflectors the light is reflected back at 180° regardless of the angle of incidence. Natural retroreflectors are found in animals that have a layer of the tapetum lucidum, which is a highly reflective tissue.

Controller: The controller is responsible for controlling the motor's speed, acceleration, and position. It receives input signals from sensors and actuators and generates appropriate control signals to achieve the desired motion.

Linear motor stages offer higher speed and precision, while screw-driven stages are more cost-effective and suitable for less demanding applications.

A motorized stage is a device used in various life science applications to move objects in a controlled and precise manner. The motorized stage consists of a platform that can be moved along one or more axes using motors and mechanical components.

Flocculation is a process in chemistry wherein colloids are extracted from suspensions which then take the form of flake or floc. This can take place spontaneously or may be brought about by adding clarifying agents. This process is different from precipitation in the sense that before… View Full Term

At Dover Motion, we specialize in designing and manufacturing motorized optical stages that meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Our stages are designed to deliver smooth, stable motion with sub-micron positioning accuracy, even in harsh environments or challenging applications. They range from single-axis stages for simple applications to multi-axis systems for complex processes and are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, with options for linear or rotary motion. Our experienced team of engineers works closely with our customers to understand their specific requirements and design custom motorized optical stages that are tailored to their unique needs.

A motorized stage is a high-performance positioning system that utilizes integrated motors to drive a platform with exceptional accuracy along one or more linear axes. These stages are instrumental in various automated applications across science and industry, particularly those requiring meticulous object manipulation.

The motorized stage provides precise automated positioning and is available in single or multi-axis architectures. It is also commonly referred to as a motorized table or motorized actuator.  Each axis of a motorized stage must constrain the six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, roll, pitch, and yaw) of the payload to only one, producing automation along a single axis of motion. This is accomplished with a set of linear bearings, which are mounted to a metal base to provide a stiff structure.  Our stages designed specifically for vertical motion can be viewed on our Z Stages page.

Our XY tables include high performance, open frame, monolithic high load, and custom designed XY tables that move in two degrees of freedom and offer high precision and efficiency for digital imaging applications.

The SmartStage™ XY motorized stage features a built-in motion controller, ONE external cable and has a 5 nm resolution with 0.8 um bi-directional repeatability.

A motorized optical stage is a stage that is designed for use with optical instruments such as microscopes or cameras and is moved by a motor. It provides precise control over the position and movement of samples and optical components. The motorized optical stage has higher precision and accuracy requirements than the general motorized stage, as the movement of the sample or component needs to be very precise for accurate imaging or analysis. Some motorized optical stages have additional features such as encoder feedback for closed-loop control, joystick or computer control, and programmable motion profiles, which are specific to optical applications.

Motorized stages play a critical role in achieving high accuracy and efficiency in various applications, from scientific research to industrial automation. Yet, information on choosing the right motorized stage is not widely accessible. Our guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview, addressing common questions and highlighting key features to help you select the stage that best fits your application.

Using a linear motor is generally considered to be optimal for high speed motion systems and is the most precise and repeatable linear motion actuation technology.

This is an optical device, also known as the corner-cube prism, which contains mutually perpendicular trihedral surfaces that reflect light incident on its surface at 180°. It is used to coat surfaces that require the return of a beam of light back to its source. It is used in automobile taillights and traffic signs or barriers. It can be used on surfaces where UV rays are undesirable.

Drive Mechanism: The drive mechanism transmits the motion from the motor to the stage platform. It can be a screw drive, belt drive, or direct drive system.

Once the payload has been constrained to a single degree of freedom, the system’s next mission is to actuate the payload and provide precise incremental linear motion along the guideway.

The manufactured type uses micro prisms and glass beads. The three reflective surfaces are aligned perpendicular to each other, such that any ray that falls on one surface is reflected on the surfaces, so that the reinitialized trajectories are parallel to their initial trajectories. They are available as solid or hollow, mounted and unmounted.

A translation stage with a motor is a precision mechanical device used in motion control applications that allows for precise linear movement along single or multiple axes. The motor is used to drive the translation stage, providing smooth and precise motion control. Translation stages with a motor are commonly used in scientific research, bio-medical, life sciences, metrology, semiconductor, precise manufacturing, and other industries where precise positioning is required.

Retroreflector arrays were used in Apollo 11, 14 and 15 with laser technology to determine the distance between the moon and the Earth; it can therefore be used in instrumentation to determine the distance between two bodies.

Our microscope stages are made with embedded high-performance precision electronics required to control motion within the stage without increasing its size.
