Absolute Miniature microscopes encoding removes the need to home the stage on power-up, Spectroscopy eliminating errors and disruptions in processes and experiments. Micro assembly The unique linear slide has uniform and very low friction, even Biomedical probing & sampling under high direct loads and side loads. Six ball bearings in a High-resolution tuning systems kinematic v guide-way eliminate cage creep and friction spike Targeting systems problems common in other micro stages. UAV/UGV controls and optics Miniature camera systems The M3-LS has high stiffness and lateral stability, no backlash, and less than10 m runout over its full travel range. 2 Direct input via USB, I C or SPI The stage accepts simple high-level motion commands via standard serial interface. Use the USB adapter to power and control multiple stages from a single New Scale Pathway software screen. Use the intuitive script generator to easily create command sequences for automated operations. The M3-LS stage can also be driven directly from your system 2 processor via standard I C or SPI interface. Low power for hand-held systems The M3-LS Linear Smart Stage needs only 3.3 V DC and uses New Scale Pathway software with less than 0.75 W typical when moving. It can be powered by USB easy-to-use graphical interface. Control or standard batteries. The integrated piezo motor holds position multiple smart stages from one PC without using power. The internal electronics can be switched to screen, or develop your own code using sleep mode for extreme low-power applications. the intuitive scripting tool.

See note 3. Drive electronics Integrated into the smart stage Via USB adapter from PC Control interface 2 or directly to I C or SPI serial interface Note 1: Higher mass is possible but will affect performance and lifetime. Note 2: Speed and force reduced at lower temperatures within the range. Note 3: Corresponds to 10 million moves with an average random move of 120 m. Lifetime depends on the application and use case. Please consult the factory to discuss your specific system design. M3 smart module platform The M3-LS Linear Smart Stage is built on New Scales M3 micro- mechatronic smart module platform, integrating a patented piezoelectric SQUIGGLE micro motor, precision mechanical guide system, position sensor, microprocessor, and drive electronics into one tiny package. Eliminating the need for external controllers, M3 smart modules offer the smallest system size and easiest integration into OEM systems. They operate on 3.3 V DC input, accept high-level motion commands, and hold position with power off. 2 New Scale Technologies, Inc. ~ www.newscaletech.com ~ Phone (585) 924-4450
