Travel direction of the stage.

Size of moving area of the stage.

It displays the clamp type.

It displays the attachment location of the operating section, micrometer head, lead screw, etc.

It displays the stage feeding method.

It displays the distance that the stage can travel at the max.

Example : ±6.5 mm
Start from center position of the stage, travel for (+)6.5 mm in one direction, and travel for (-)6.5 mm in the opposite direction.
Full travel is 13 mm.

It displays the transfer amount for when the stage transfer dial is turned for one turn.

It displays the visually-readable smallest value on the scale as “scale interval”.

It displays the minimum unit that a man can operate sensuously, as “sensitivity”.

It displays the using guiding method.

Accuracy is displayed by straightness (horizontal and vertical), yawing, and pitching. Each of items is defined as follows.

The moment load that can be applied to when the stages are assembled or when components are attached to the stage is called “allowance moment.” There are several types of allowance moment depending on the moment load direction and the stage type. In X, XY, and Z stages, there are three types, allowance moment (yaw), allowance moment (pitch), and allowance moment (roll). In rotation stage, there is an allowance moment, and in an oblique stage, there are two types, allowance moment (yaw) and allowance moment (roll).

Displacement angle (sec) of the manual stage due to moment load per 1 N•cm is called “moment rigidity.” There are several types of moment rigidities depending on the moment load direction and the manual stage type. In X axis, XY axis, and Z axis stages, there are three types, yaw rigidity, pitch rigidity, and roll rigidity. In the rotation stage, there is moment rigidity. As smaller the moment rigidity value is, the automatic stage displacement due to moment load gets smaller, representing a good rigidity.

“In a combination of plane sections, set one plane as a standard plane. It is the deviation when a plane section is deviated from the geometric plane that is parallel to the standard plane.” Deviation of the plane sections of the table face and base face at the center position of total transfer amount of the stage is set as the parallelism.

Deviation of the face and line of the mechanical unit, or of the movement of the moving component that are supposed to be parallel to each other.
The stage is fixed to the standard plane, and positioning is carried out from the standard position toward one direction at a standard interval. Then, at each point, the heights from the standard plane to the measuring unit fixed at the upper surface of the moving stage are measured. Its maximum difference is set as parallelism of the motion.
By placing a square ruler on the standard plane, measurement is carried out for the distance to the measuring unit fixed to the stage surface. Its maximum difference is set as perpendicularity of the motion.

Equally divided load to the stage surface that is load-able to the manual stage is called “load capacity".

It displays the weight (mass) of the stage body.

It displays the main materials used for the stage and the exterior (plating, paint, etc.).

The products whose restricted substances of the European RoHS Directive are below the allowable value (or less than the allowable value when applicable items are exempted) are listed as "European RoHS 10 substance-free (non-containing) products" in the products listed in the General Catalogue No.41 and the WEB catalog , RoHS2 mark was displayed.

With the spring loading to the micrometer head spindle, it is designed as it provides a great repeatability and a backlash as small as ignorable. Therefore, the feed precision greatly depends on the feed precision of the micro meter head and the straightness of the stage transfer.
Feed precision is considered important for our stages that apply V-CR method and HG-VCR method for transfer guide (guide method) as they can be used for measurement as well as precise positioning. The following precision standards are set when error factors such as micrometer head precision, stage straightness, and interconnecting precision of both are considered.

　Within (1 + 2L/10) μm to the stage smaller than 90 mm x 90 mm
　Within (1 + L/10) μm to the stage with the size between 90 mm x 90 mm to 125 mm x 150 mm
　“L” represents a feed amount (mm).

It is a type of precision where the micrometer head is on the center axis of the stage.
This is not the limit on which the micrometer head is attached to the side of the stage.
