(Physik Instrumente: Shrewsbury, MA) -- For high-precision applications that don’t require the ultimate geometric performance of air bearings, the Physik Instrumente (PI) new V-700 series of mechanical-bearing XY stages provides an attractive alternative.

The V-783 high-precision linear motion stage combines long travel, nanometer-level positioning performance, and smooth high-speed scanning in a compact design. Designed and manufactured in the U.S., it features a large 360 × 360 mm open aperture and is optimized for semiconductor inspection, photonics alignment, metrology, imaging, laser microprocessing, biotechnology, microscopy, precision assembly, and advanced automation systems.
