LTS Series Long Travel Stages
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The LTS Series stages are a range of stepper-motor driven long travel stages with
ranges of 150mm and 300mm. They have been designed to be light-weight, compact
and robust with high perfomance over the full travel range. With a load capacity of up
to 15 kg horizontally (4 kg vertically), these stages are highly suited to applications
such as interferometry and M2 measurements and are compatible with our range of
optomech and translation stages. Integrated magnetic limit switches allow homing as
well as overdriving protection in both directions. The stages are inclusive of the drive
electronics which can either be driven via a PC or can be controlled manually via the
buttons and velocity potentiometer on the control key pad.

1.2.1 Introduction
The LTS series stages share many of the benefits of the Thorlabs range of motor
controllers. These include USB connectivity (allowing multiple units to be used
together on a single PC), fully featured Graphical User Interface (GUI) panels, and
extensive software function libraries for custom application development.
