Q & A

PLG210 Linear Stage Q & A

+What applications is the PLG210 Linear Stage best suited for?
The PLG210 is ideal for precision positioning applications including semiconductor equipment, automated inspection, laser processing, optical alignment, robotics, metrology, laboratory automation, and high-precision assembly. Its high load capacity and excellent repeatability make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
+What motor options are available for the PLG210?
Customers can choose between an integrated frameless brushless servo motor or an inline NEMA 34 stepper or servo motor. The integrated frameless option reduces overall machine size while improving dynamic performance by eliminating external motor couplings.
+Can the PLG210 be used in cleanroom or vacuum environments?
Yes. Specialized versions are available for cleanroom operation (up to Class 10) and medium vacuum applications. Protective belt and seal options are also available for dusty or contaminated manufacturing environments.
+How accurate is the Primatics PLG210?
The PLG210 offers high positioning accuracy and repeatability using a precision ball screw drive with optional high-resolution linear encoders capable of resolutions down to 0.1 micron. Every stage is factory-tested using laser interferometer verification to validate positioning performance.
+Can multiple PLG210 stages be combined into multi-axis systems?
Yes. The PLG210 is designed for direct XY stacking and can be integrated into XYZ positioning systems and custom gantry platforms, allowing engineers to build complex multi-axis motion systems with minimal integration effort.
