Nano Z – Dual Voice Coil Stages with Air Bearings

ALIO’s patented Nano Z® combines air bearings and dual voice-coil motors to eliminate wedge-stage inaccuracies and deliver ultra-smooth, ultra-accurate vertical motion. With nano-scale repeatability and a compact form, it’s ideal for precision optical or semiconductor workflows.

Benefits & Advantages:

  • Negligible friction from air bearings
  • Nano-level accuracy and repeatability
  • Ideal for heavy vertical loads
  • Precise alignment: minimal pitch/yaw/roll
  • Footprint allows placement directly under payload

Market Segments & Applications:
Semiconductor: Lithography, Microelectronics: Assembly and Testing, Wafer Handling, Wafer Mask Inspection/Processing Tools, LED Manufacturing, Inspection, and Testing
Photonics/Micro-Assembly: Laser Processing, Additive Manufacturing, Electronics Assembly and Metrology, Laser Lens Array (Lensing) Assemblies, 6K Lens Packaging, Hard Disk and High-Density Tape Storage, Ultra-Precision Machining
