Features

  • Flexure Design Ensures Smooth Continuous Motion
  • Compact Design:
    • Distance from Table to Moving Deck: 62.5 mm
    • Distance from Table to the Optical Axis of the Accessories: 75 mm
  • No Sliding Parts Prevents Friction
  • Flexure Design Circumvents Need for Grease and Enhances Long-Term Stability

The smooth continuous motion provided by this MicroBlock 3-axis translation stage makes this device ideally suited for almost any micropositioning application. An innovative flexure design yields three orthogonal linear translation degrees of freedom without the severe limitations of stiction and friction that is found in traditional bearing based stages. The use of nested flexure plates allows this stage to operate indefinitely without the need for any lubricant, which is one of the primary sources of drift within positioning devices. The central key-way that extends across the top mounting surface of the stage is designed to allow rapid system reconfiguration, while maintaining alignment.

The MBT616D stage includes compact differential adjusters that offer 50 µm travel per revolution over the 300 µm fine adjustment range.The MBT602 stage is al 3-axis flexure stage that includes thumbscrew adjusters with a 0.5 mm pitch.

An extensive selection of accessories is offered for the MicroBlock system. The MBT616D stage is also available preconfigured with a variety of fiber launch optpmechanics.

A response from Oli at Thorlabs to day: Unfortunately because of the mechanical design of the stage it cannot handle 1Kg in this orientation. However the stage can certainly be mounted like this to actuate light optics etc.

Is the load capacity still 1kg if the stage is mounted vertically (i.e. if the stage breadboard is vertical)? Can the stage be used in this orientation?

A response from Ken at Thorlabs: It is a theoretical number. It is the smallest possible move a human hand can move the differential adjusters.

Is the resolution of the MBT616 stage really 50 nm? Looking at the differential micrometers it looks more like 500 nm. Can you clarify how you define the resolution?
