Summary
M3-LS micro stage developer’s kits provide easy evaluation and prototyping with M3-LS Linear Smart stages.Description:
The M3-LS Linear Smart Stage is a direct-drive, high-precision micro stage with built-in controller. It is designed for fast, simple integration into miniature OEM systems. This “smart stage” has all drive electronics integrated right into the compact stage housing – no external board needed! It offers unmatched precision, stability and ease of use.
Two different developer kits are available for the M3-LS module, with two diffrerent travel ranges.
