XYZ Stage for a high radiation, high-temperature environment

XYZ Stage for a high radiation, high-temperature environment

Challenge: A materials science OEM needed to add XYZ positioning in a minimal footprint.  The testing environment is a high-radiation, high-temperature environment and needs a high level of precision.
 
Solution: The XYZ stage was designed largely with stainless steel to minimize the effects of thermal expansion.  The open aperture in XY allows the Z stage to be embedded in the mounting plane to minimize the footprint needed inside the test chamber area.
 
Result: The OEM is able to articulate in XYZ in a difficult environment (temperature and radiation) while minimizing the overall machine footprint.

Our Design Process

“It’s really important to thoroughly understand the application. We would start by reviewing the statement of work or application information that the customer provides, and then we would have a consultative meeting to make sure that we really understand how the system should function, and all of the nuances that are associated with it.”
