LP300E & LP400E XY Stages
LP300E & LP400E XY Stages
The LP300E and LP400E low-profile stages are for applications requiring aesthetics and compactness. Often used in inspection or optical metrology instruments where the stage is fully visible to the user, we have designed these stages to look as good as they perform. Our team has paid considerable attention to the quality of the surface finish on all exposed parts and fully integrated the linear encoders, lead screw drives, motors, and cable routing within the body of the stages.
Despite standing 100 mm tall, these stages offer reliable performance. Their precision grade, recirculating caged ball bearing guides provide smooth, quiet travel, long life, good load capacity, and low angular and straightness errors. Horizontal and vertical straightness of travel errors are ±2.0µm.
Non-contact, hysteresis-free, linear encoders directly monitor the position of the stage carriage to virtually eliminate the contribution of errors inherent in a mechanical drive like hysteresis, thermal drift due to friction, and lead screw pitch inaccuracies. Bidirectional repeatability is ±0.5µm, and linear accuracy is ±6.0µm. We use a laser interferometer to certify the performance of each stage.
For simple, cost-effective motion control, the LP300E and LP400E use stepper motors with integral motor drivers and controllers. Communication to the host computer occurs through RS422/485, typically configured for multi-drop communication to support control of multiple axes using a single port. We loop the RS422/485, power, and one I/O through at the connector plate to simplify the integration of additional axes of motion — e.g. a Z Axis mounted to a bridge. An optional auxiliary cable service loop is available to support additional axes of motion or active tooling mounted on top of the stage.

Low-Profile XY Stages
Low-profile XY stages travel quickly along the X and Y axes in high-precision applications. They feature a square footprint and have a low-profile design to minimize errors.
If you want these stages for your OEM machines, consider Reliant Systems, Inc. We design and manufacture innovative precision motion solutions for a diverse range of industries. Our highly skilled designers and engineers understand that high-performance stages are paramount in building reliable OEM motion solutions. For this reason, we dedicate our time to conceptualizing and developing products that can meet market demands.
Advantages of Our Stepper Motor Stages
The lower profile design of our LP300E and LP400E stepper motor XY stages makes them suitable for semiconductor inspection, laser processing, metrology inspection, and other use cases requiring precision motion in two degrees of freedom (2-DOF). It also simplifies OEM integration into existing or new systems.
Here are the benefits these stages offer:
- Reliable performance: Their axes are highly straight and flat to deliver high performance. The flatness helps the stages stay in an XY plane.
- High repeatability: Our solutions can deliver consistent performance with each X and Y movement. This high repeatability is vital for high-precision, repetitive tasks.
- Accurate movement: The stages' orthogonality feature maintains perpendicularity in the axes, ensuring accurate movement. The stepper motors and contactless linear encoders also enhance stage accuracy.
- High speed: We have integrated high-torque stepper motors into our stages for quick movements. They convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, automating the stages. Our team has also incorporated ball bearing guides for stability, improving throughput rates.
- Versatility: LP300E and LP400E stages suit any precision motion application needing repeatable and fast scanning.
