Understanding Our Z-Axis (vertical travel) Stage Offering
OptoSigma® offers three main types of z-axis, vertical-travel stages, each providing different orientations of its mounting surfaces. Z stages have two mounting surfaces: one that is movable and one fixed. The movable surface provides mounting for the object that needs to be aligned or positioned. The fixed surface (or base) mounts to a work surface like a breadboard or optical table.
Each of these surfaces are oriented either horizontally or vertically and, likewise, our stages are grouped into one of three categories shown below:
- Horizontal Mounting Surface /Horizontal Base
- Vertical Mounting Surface /Horizontal Base (part number suffix: “L”)
- Vertical Mounting Surface /Vertical Base (part number suffix: “Z”)
Use this selection guide to identify the z-axis stage that best suits your application need.
