Case study
Sample stage for 3D imaging
A large size sample stage was developed in cooperation with the ESRF (ID19) to position and scan samples for high resolution multi-scale microtomography and laminography. The 5 axis system has a 600 mm long vertical stroke allowing to scan large objects using helical scanning techniques. The 500 mm horizontal linear axis allows scanning of large 2D samples and recording “bright-field” images (without sample in the beam) for data normalization and correction
Since we delivered it, this system has become the popular workhorse for doing a wide variety of measurements.
A similar custom made solution can be made for your requirements. At LAB Motion Systems we specialize in turning your exceptions in a great solution.


“This system has become our customers’ popular workhorse for measurements tasks.”

4 Axis Motion System
A combination of standard products, customized products and a custom developed air bearing vertical stage. All axis can be driven and synchronized by LAB’s motion controllers or with commercially available controllers.
Gyro Calibration
A gimbal setup was made with 2 stages of our standard RTBT range. These ball bearing stages with strong torque motors enable the highest dynamic movements without compromising the micrometer level precision.
i-CT Multi-Axis Sample Manipulator
A system was developed for advanced measuring tasks. Air bearing axis and a rotary stage are combined to realize object manipulation in the µm-range on a large volume.
