650mm Long Travel Stage
The 650mm long travel stage is used for inspecting or processing larger parts such as flat panels and circuit boards. Many options are available, including stepper motors, servo motors, or “smart” motors with integral controllers (shown above), connector bulkheads, and side seals. Even though the 650mm long travel is an economical stage, performance has not been compromised. A stiff stage body machined from 7075 aluminum ensures angular errors (pitch, yaw, roll) and straightness errors (straightness and flatness of travel) are kept to a minimum. Large, precision linear rail guides with recirculating, caged ball bearings provide smooth, quiet travel, long life and high load capacity. Because many of our stages are integrated into metrology instruments or process tools, we pay a lot of attention to the quality of all external surface finishes.
NOTE: If you are looking for tighter specs and tolerances, we can customize to your needs.

Capabilities
Reliant Systems, Inc. is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of high precision motion systems. We specialize in custom, easy to integrate OEM motion assemblies that have been designed for a customer's specific application.
Custom Solutions
Modifications
When one of our existing stages is close to being the right solution for a customer’s application, our experienced engineering team can make appropriate modifications to make it the perfect solution. Modifications to an existing product will save time and money for our customers when a completely new design may not be needed. We take pride in providing our customers with a plug-and-play solution that is performance tested to ensure a smooth transition into their application.
Design & Prototype
Custom OEM precision motion assemblies are our specialty. We have the knowledge, experience, tools, and flexibility to offer application specific assemblies comprised of standard products or completely unique designs. Reliant Systems clients can communicate directly with our engineers to ensure an iterative dialogue exists throughout the design process. This will ensure that your motion solution fits seamlessly into your system and that we hit your motion and cost goals.
Also, to save time and money, when one of our standard stages is close to being the right solution for a customer’s application, our experienced engineering team can make a few modifications to make it the perfect solution.
Design tools:
- SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD
- SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional
- SOLIDWORKS Motion
Assembly
From manufacturing the parts, through the assembly/build process, we use skilled and experienced technicians along with a controlled network to ensure only current release documentation is being used for every step. Tolerances can add up unless you pay attention, so all of our workstations include AA grade granite surface plates, squares, and parallels along with high res electronic indicators to track critical dimensions throughout the process to minimize any additive errors. Our application engineering team will ensure that your project or application build is completed to your specifications.
Build competency:
- All supporting docs on controlled network
- Preload and tolerance testing
- Cost and schedule targets
Testing
Performance validation is a proven process with Reliant Systems. The investment in several metrology tools ensures every motion assembly meets exacting standards. 100% of our products shipped have been tested to conform to our customers specifications. RSI is a market leader in reliability and quality having won several OEM supplier awards with some of the semiconductor industry leaders.
Test protocols:
- Supporting test results docs
- Linear: yaw, pitch, straightness and flatness of travel, accuracy, and bidirectional repeatability
- Rotary: radial and axial error, wobble, rotation position accuracy, and position repeatability
