The long-travel IDL industrial-grade linear stages have the highest load capacity and speed among all linear motor stages. With features such as a hard-top cover, flexible side bands, and air purge, as well as a broad range of sizes and travel ranges, these stages are ideal for demanding production applications. The IDL stages' superior accuracy, pitch, and yaw performance make them excellent for laser micro-machining applications.
- Designed for industrial applications with debris protection, fast throughput, and dependability
- High-efficiency, non-contact, ironless linear motor for quick movement and speed stability
- Extended travel and high load capabilities to suit various applications
- Quick and reliable delivery based on customers' production needs

IDL - Industrial Linear Motor Stages for Laser Microprocessing
Video Credit: MKS Newport
The IDL stages were designed to meet the most stringent requirements of precise industrial laser microprocessing, with a focus on high throughput, large load capacity, and extreme durability. The IDL is appropriate for industrial environments due to its industrial-grade hard covers, wear-resistant sidebands, air purge, and guided debris path.
Platform Sizes, Travel Ranges, and Load Capacities for Popular Industrial Applications
