USB Motorized Linear Stages
Small USB Motorized Linear Stages
The CMLS Series Miniature Motorized Stages offer an innovative design that combines submicron precision with user-friendly operation and affordability, making them an ideal choice for programmable motion applications. These stages feature a dual-bearing design to eliminate backlash and a proprietary optical encoder, achieving nanometer-level resolution and submicron repeatability. Each stage incorporates a built-in smart motor driver with USB/RS232 interfaces. A manual control knob is integrated into the system: pressing it switches to manual mode, rotating it initiates movement, increasing the speed as it turns, with the direction reversed when rotated past the center. An Ethernet control option is available through an additional control box.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Small USB Motorized Linear Stages to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Control interface
- Ethernet Control Box: Non, Yes
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
