Dover Motion DDM Series
Date: 24 January 2012
Dover Motion DDM series open frame X-Y table suits high throughput image and bio processing
Dover Motion Inc. has released a open frame
X-Y positioning stage with a dynamic performance and accuracy
capability that will suit demanding high throughput automation
applications for imaging and biotechnology.
The low profile DDM series, available through Dover Motion's
exclusive distribution partner Heason Technology, features direct
drive ironless linear servomotors and anti-creep cross roller
bearings for exceptionally smooth zero-backlash motion combined
with integral linear encoders that provide positioning resolution
to 0.1 micron (to 5 nanometres on request). The small footprint DDM
stage has a nominal travel of 120 mm x 80 mm and an overall height
of only 40 mm - with a generous through aperture that will suit
both imaging and microscopy use as well supporting microtitres or
wellplates with top and underside access for biomedical sampling
use. The DDM is designed to provide imaging throughput of up to 30
images/sec with outstanding stability during image capture.
The DDM series has built-in cable management with a single point
exit for all motor and encoder connections which reduces the
overall stage footprint and facilitates straightforward
installation. The combination of direct drive servomotors and
non-contact optical encoders plus the absence of moving cables
provides the basis for exceptionally long working life with minimal
maintenance.
Heason Technology offers a complete range of motion controls and
linear servo drives that will enable the highest performance from
the Dover Motion DDM series. Dual axis or multi-axis controls with
addition positioning mechanics are available for simple point-to
point programmed motion to fully system integrated controls for
high throughput production or laboratory analytics use.
Heason Technology works closely with its global distribution
partners to provide a comprehensive range of first-class motion
control components in combination with its own in-house design and
assembly service for superior motion system solutions that help its
customers to excel in their own technologies, with the advanced
positioning performance they require.
Other Dover Motion products, available through Heason Technology,
include linear and rotary stages for medium, high and ultra-high
precision grades based with both air and mechanical bearing
technologies and with linear or rotary servomotor drive
systems.
