Dovetail Slides with up to 42 mm (1⅔") of travel

The DT-100 series of lockable miniature dovetail stages are ideal for positioning applications requiring micron-scale resolution with exceptional straightness of travel. Equipped with precision rolled 80 TPI leadscrews, they deliver smooth positioning along the entire length of travel.

The stages have V-grooves cut into the sides for mounting on specially designed DT100-CL bases fitted with Delrin® clamps.

Tightening the hex screws on these clamps holds the stage securely, without damage or distortion.

The DT-130 series of dovetail stages integrates a coarse fast travel stage and a fine adjustable stage into one simple device.

The coarse fast action is controlled by a ⅓" diameter knob driving a multi-lead adjustment screw that moves the stage across 42 millimeters of travel in only three revolutions.

The fine adjustment is controlled by a large 1½" diameter wheel driving a 100 TPI adjustment screw that moves the stage across 3 mm of travel. The size of this control improves purchase so movements approaching submicron accuracies can be achieved.

Single stages are supplied with a rotatable clamp base for ease of mounting, while multi-axis assemblies are joined with a unique sliding clamp. This facilitates the postioning of the orthogonal stage anywhere along the body of the supporting stage.
