Motorized pan-tilt stages for motion control in optics, laser scanning, and positioning introduced by OIS
VAN NUYS, Calif. – Optimal Engineering Systems Inc. (OES) in Van Nuys, Calif., is introducing the PT60 series of motorized dual-axis pan-tilt stages to meet the precision and speed of travel requirements of different motion-control applications.
The dual-axis pan-tilt stages are for optics, laser scanning, reverse engineering, inspection, tracking, positioning, assembly, camera mounts, and measurements.
These four compact high-precision pan-tilt stages integrate two 60-millimeter-diameter rotary stages capable of 360 degrees of continuous rotation set at 90 degrees to each other.

The PT60-01 features a resolution of 0.001 degrees (3.6 arcsec) with a 10 microsteps-per-step micro stepping driver and has a knob on the motor for manual adjustments.
The motor option -02 is driven by three phase brushless servo motors with quadrature optical encoders. The option -03 uses DC brushed servo motors with quadrature optical encoders, and the -04 option is stepper motor driven with quadrature optical encoders for position verification.
The servo motor options -02 and -03 offer the greatest resolution, repeatability, positional accuracy, and speed of travel in closed-loop operation.

The tables have precision patterns of threaded holes for mounting tooling, fixtures, cameras, lasers, or similar equipment. Each stage has a HOME switch to signal the motion controller for initial HOME positioning. Each stage has a calibrated scale for visual inspection.
These stages can come with a plug-and-play-compatible multi-axis motion controller, joystick or trackball, and keypad for any motor combination from OES.
