Linear positioning stages offer high precision, repeatability, and flexibility, making them indispensable tools in industries where precise motion control is essential for achieving high-quality results.
Advantages over manual positioning stages
Unlike manual stages, which rely on human operators for adjustment, motorized stages are controlled electronically, allowing for precise positioning with minimal error.
Motorized stages enable automation that not only increases efficiency, but also increases repeatability as motorized stages can reliably return to specific positions, ensuring consistent results over time. They can be easily programmed to follow predefined paths or sequences of movements, allowing for complex motion profiles that would be challenging or impossible to achieve manually.
Key features and benefits of the BX-Series
The BX positioning stages are characterized by its monoblock design. The guides and the body are made of one stainless steel profile. The combination with gothic arch ball guiding results in extremely high precision with very high thermal stability and smooth running. Preloaded angular ball bearings and the C3 ball screw enable backlash-free positioning with a repeatability of less than 1 μm.

Connect the stepper motor controller to your PC.
Select the COM port via which your controller can be addressed on the computer. This varies from computer to computer, but retains the value after setup. Selecting the wrong port has no effect.
Select the controller you want to work with.
Ezi-MOTION Plus-E
Recommendation: Use a second network interface on your PC to communicate with the stepper motor controller.
Connect the stepper motor controller to your PC.
Enter the IP of the controller. This is displayed on the stepper motor controller via LEDs.
Select the controller you want to work with.
Ezi-MOTION - GUI
The software offers you extensive options for configuring and controlling your stepper motor controller. Parameters can be adjusted, such as pulses per revolution, switching the sensors from high active to low active and configuring the input and output signals. The creation of position tables for stand-alone operation and direct control via the software can be conveniently carried out here.
Detailed information on using the interface can be found in the FASTECH manual.
