Each pitch stage has cross roller guides and a range of travel of ±10º. The maximum speed is 14 º/s with the stepper motor driven version and 90 º/s with the servo motor driven versions. The 65 mm x 65 mm table has a precise pattern of threaded holes for fixtures or tooling and has an accuracy of 0.05º and repeatability of ±0.01º. The rotation center height is 75 mm and the pitch axis is equipped with end of travel limit switches to signal the motion controller to stop the motion at each end. This axis also has the calibrated indicator to display the angle of rotation. The yaw stage can rotate over large angles and features a 180:1 ratio gear. The positional accuracy is 0.05º and repeatability is ±0.01º. This axis also has a calibrated indicator to display the angle of rotation and HOME signal for initialization. The knobs of the stepper motors can be replaced with an optional optical encoder for precision position verification. The YP110-10-02 and YP110-10-03 feature servo motors and optical encoders for very precise closed loop operation and greater travel speeds. Each of the stages can be ordered plug-and-play with a fully compatible multi-axis motion controller.
