Standard products configure into
multi-axis motion
Multi-axis configurations based upon standard products offer repeatability better than 2 microns and resolutions of under 4 microns.
Multi-axis configurations based upon standard products from Bayside Motion Group offer repeatability better than 2 microns and resolutions of under 4 microns XYZ packages might typically comprise a 'Luge LM' stage, with integral motor built onto a ball screw, an 'Ultra' with a linear motor, and a Z-Wedge, also with a shaft mounted motor

Planetary servo gearheads apply torque smoothly
Continuous duty planetary servo gearheads provide continuous torque, precise speed control and quiet operation for conveyors, gantries and continuous flow packaging lines.
Each product is employed for its respective characteristics.
The Luge LM (X axis) is ideal for stepping motion duty, where its high dynamic stiffness would enhance system settling qualities whilst the integral motor eliminates compliance problems arising between screw and motor.
Travels are up to 1.4m with velocities of 215mm/sec and accelerations of 29m/sec2.
The linear motor version of the Ultra (Y axis) can achieve sub-micron accuracy with repeatability of +/- 1 encoder count.
This is complemented by precision crossed bearings for smooth low-friction motion, plus the patented AutoFlex Preload technology that eliminates the effects of thermal expansion/contraction on bearing performance.
For the Z axis, there is the 'Z-Wedge' that provides vertical motion with sub-micron accuracy achieved via the C3 Class precision ground ball screw driven by the brushless servo motor with integrated rotary encoder.
Crossed roller bearings ensure low friction and straight-line accuracy.
Vertical motion is achieved by driving a central wedge horizontally to effect pure vertical displacement.
