TravelMax Steel Stage
When stability, long travel, and high load capacity are important, the TravelMax Series stages provide an ideal solution. Designed with the highest quality linear rails available, the performance is further enhanced by utilizing thermally matched materials that ensure stability, even in less than ideal conditions. The rigidity of the all steel construction, along with the heavy-duty cross-roller bearings, provides uniform performance over the entire 50 mm range of motion.

In Field Left- or Right-Handed XYZ Configurable
The TravelMax was designed with flexibility and functionality in mind. The top and bottom surfaces of the LNR Series stages are equipped with a wide array of 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped holes to maximize the mounting flexibility of components.

The LNR50 Series can be easily configured in left- or right-handed XY or XYZ systems (shown right), for which no more than 6 mounting cap screws are necessary. These various configurations are assembled using the LNR50P1 Base Plate, the LNR50P2 Angle Bracket, and the LNR50P3 Spacer Block described below.

In addition, the removable side clamps can be used to mount any combination of motorized actuators and piezo extenders. All these modular features enable the user to set up their own custom-configured stages or to reconfigure the stage at any time to suit the given application.

Upgrade To Piezo Assisted Drives
The LNR50 stage includes a static pin that provides a stop for the motor drive. This pin is removeable and can be replaced by a piezo drive. Both open loop and closed loop piezo drives are available, with 20 µm to 100 µm of travel - see below for more details.

Save 10% with a Stage and Controller Bundle
The encoded and non-encoded stepper motor stages described below are available complete with a stepper motor controller and all necessary cables. These bundles include a 10% saving on the price of the individual products.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to ax4solid: Thank you for contacting us. You can certainly use LabVIEW to control the LNR50SE/M stage. Our APT software is built on the ActiveX platform, so it can be imported into LabVIEW without the need for drivers. The installation package also contains tutorial videos, a help file with method descriptions, and basic, intermediate, and advanced sample vi's. We also offer a guide for programming the APT software in LabVIEW, which you can find in the BSC101 controller page: http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=1704 (click on the APT Tutorials Tab) I will contact you directly for further support.

Good day, I would like to inquire about the mentioned device and the controller. I would like to know if Labview could be used to run the controller and if so, would the SDK be provided for use when purchased. Thank you. cheers. Solomon Idinyang

A reply from Jens at Thorlabs: we can customize all of the bundles we show on the web, the price will need to be determined case by case depending on the combination of parts which is required. We will contact you with a quotation right away.

Hello, there, Can you also offer 10% bundle discount per axis for NRT100 series when bought with BSC101-103 (like LNR50S does)? Sincerely, Yuh-Jen Cheng
