Application context
Why this design is used
Automated optical inspection
Move parts between fixed measurement stations with repeatability holding across thousands of cycles.
Integration into OEM instruments
Serve as the motion element inside a larger instrument rather than on an open optical table.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect L150.Indus to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Travel and resolution
- Travel range: 150 mm · Sensor Resolution: 2 nm
- Separate travel from resolution and both from repeatability. Repeatability is what an automated sequence actually depends on, and it is the figure most often absent from a headline specification.
- Drive and feedback
- Controller: MC-Newton.S series
- Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
- Load and mounting
- Max. Payload (horizontal mounting): 1 kg
- Check the load rating in the orientation you will use it — a vertical or cantilevered load is a moment, not a mass — and match the base to an M6 pattern on a 25 mm grid or a 1/4"-20 pattern on a 1 inch grid.
Technical FAQ
Integration questions for L150.Indus
What travel and resolution does the L150.Indus provide?
Travel range: 150 mm · Sensor Resolution: 2 nm. Separate travel from resolution and both from repeatability. Repeatability is what an automated sequence actually depends on, and it is the figure most often absent from a headline specification.
Which controller does the L150.Indus require?
Controller: MC-Newton.S series. Pair open-loop mechanics with the specified high-voltage or inertial driver, and closed-loop variants with the controller their capacitive, strain-gauge or encoder feedback requires. Matching connectors do not guarantee electrical compatibility.
What load can the L150.Indus carry, and how does it mount?
Max. Payload (horizontal mounting): 1 kg. Check the load rating in the orientation you will use it — a vertical or cantilevered load is a moment, not a mass — and match the base to an M6 pattern on a 25 mm grid or a 1/4"-20 pattern on a 1 inch grid.
Specifying this part
What this model has to survive, and what it needs around it
Long travel for integration rather than the bench
The Indus series runs from 30 mm to 200 mm of travel with an industrial mounting interface. Chosen for displacement and duty cycle in a machine, not for the finest resolution in the catalogue.
Vacuum and non-magnetic versions
Most of the range is orderable as .HV (high vacuum), .UHV (ultra-high vacuum) or .NM (non-magnetic). The suffix changes materials, cabling and bake compatibility rather than the mechanics, so specify it against the chamber the stage will live in.
