GMT's CXS8050 universal motorized positioning stage is the right linear stage for your automation application. The monoblock design of our linear axis increases the load capacity, rigidity and above all the thermal stability. With this concept, no separate guide elements are required, as these are incorporated into the profile and the body and guide therefore consist of one piece. This makes the precision linear table ideal for applications in the field of measuring and testing technology, assembly technology and many other tasks in the industrial sector.

The ball cage guide in the displacement unit, together with the preloaded ball screw spindle, allows very precise and short strokes and stands for robustness and durability. Together with the optionally available closed-loop stepper motors from the Ezi Servo series, repeat accuracies of less than 1 µm and a maximum speed of up to 60 mm/s are achieved.

The innovative plug connection Harting ix Industrial® ensures a secure hold. This plug is a robust and miniaturized Ethernet interface and replaces the conventional RJ45 connections.

Due to the design, our motorized positioning tables can be combined to form a multi-axis system. The drilling pattern also allows the assembly of our goniometer, rotation or lifting tables.

The combination of our motorized linear stage with the closed-loop stepper motors increases repeatability and guarantees smooth and precise positioning. With the integrated rotary encoder, with a resolution of 16000 pulses per revolution (ppr), the system has a closed control loop. In this way, any mechanical faults or step losses that may occur are corrected directly and it can be guaranteed that the linear table always reaches and holds the desired position. The closed-loop system thus combines the advantages of a servo motor with those of a stepper motor.

The motorized positioning table can be easily connected to your system via the available interfaces such as Ethernet, RS485 (USB) or EtherCAT. All the necessary parameters are already preset so that closed-loop operation is possible immediately without any further programming knowledge. The precision translation stage can be controlled using free software, which is available for download, or you can create your own programs using standard programs such as Matlab, LabView, C++, etc., for which libraries and examples are available.
