ALIO Industries offers a range of precision rotary stages that are designed to meet the most demanding applications. Our standard rotary stage family uses crossed roller bearings and frameless torque motors to provide extreme throughput, acceleration, and mass capabilities while maintaining nanometer-level precision. These rotary stages are also highly stiff and can handle offset loads with ease.
Our crossed roller bearing rotary stages have +/-0.2 arc-second repeatability and are rated at 13 to 20 microns of radial and axial run-out. Some models even offer run-outs below 5 microns. We also offer mechanical bearing rotary stages in different sizes to meet varying duty cycles, mass, and acceleration needs, ranging from 80 mm to 300 mm in diameter. For mounting a vacuum chuck, vacuum rotary union options are available on the inner diameter.

360 degree Angular Contact Bearing Stages: AI-TM-(DIAMETER)RA
ALIO Industries offers a line of air bearing rotary stages for manufacturers that require the highest rotational precision. These stages move without mechanical contact, resulting in frictionless and wear-free movement. ALIO’s air bearing rotary stages can minimize errors such as wobble, eccentricity, or runout to achieve near-perfect, smooth 360-degree movement even at high speeds or when mounted vertically. Equipped with powerful torque motors, these stages can perform both constant continuous rotation and step-and-settle processes with equal precision and reliability.
It’s no wonder that ALIO’s air bearing rotary stages are commonly used in highly precise applications within the semiconductor, metrology, and photonics industries. For detailed specifications, download the following spec sheets:

ALIO Industries’ linear X stages are the ideal choice for precision applications, as they are commonly used in the precision industry due to their reliability and performance. The family of stages offers a wide range of travel options from 30mm to 300mm by utilizing two types of linear direct drives: the “LM” and the “CM” series.
The “LM” series provides greater force, higher acceleration, greater speed, and supports payloads of up to 50kg, while the “CM” series offers a low-profile design for tools and applications with space constraints, without compromising precision. ALIO’s linear motion systems and linear X stages are the perfect choice for applications that require precision and reliability.

ALIO Industries offers enclosed, monolithic XY stages that are suitable for ultra-precise applications. These stages feature direct linear drives and high-precision crossed roller bearings built into a compact 3-plate system. With nanometer straightness and flatness, as well as optimized orthogonality, the point precision is True Nano®. Standard travel ranges are from 30mm up to 400mm, and stages can be built for high vacuum or clean room applications if needed.
The bi-directional repeatability of these stages is only +/- 30nm, making them suitable for scanning applications requiring a smooth, continuous movement, or for fast step and settle processes when high output is required. The enclosed, monolithic XY stages are available in two series – the standard LM-series and the low-profile CM-series.

If you need a low-profile solution to avoid space constraints, require different travels in X and Y, and can’t compromise on performance and precision, there are hardly any off-the-shelf products on the market. ALIO’s asymmetrical, monolithic XY stages are unique in the market and can help solve this complex combination of motion requirements.
With linear direct drives, ultra-precise crossed roller bearings, and our 3-plate system, we guarantee highly precise and powerful motion, as well as perfect orthogonality of the X and Y axes in respect to each other.
“Asymmetrical” in this design concept refers to the two different travel ranges of these two stages that are usually achieved by mounting different linear X stages on top of each other.

ALIO’s precision ball-screw driven X stages are perfect for applications that require precision despite electrical noise. These stages are driven by a torque motor that moves a precision ball screw with an anti-backlash nut, and they can be equipped with pneumatic or electric solenoid brakes if necessary.
Thanks to ALIO’s unique design and manufacturing principles, these stages achieve a bi-directional repeatability of only +/- 100nm, with straightness and flatness well below 5µm (and on request even 1µm can be maintained).
Off-the-shelf versions are available for travels of 30mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm, and can be realized for ambient, high vacuum, and clean room conditions.

At ALIO Industries, we believe that traditional hexapods will soon become obsolete. That’s why we’ve developed the Hybrid Hexapod®, a patented and revolutionary approach to six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) positioning that delivers nanometer-level accuracy at any working point.
Our innovative modular design features a tripod with non-contact linear driven motors and linear encoders, offering any rotary- and Z-motion capabilities on a monolithic XY basis. Unlike traditional hexapods, the Hybrid Hexapod® boasts a unique stiffness, enabling us to avoid common problems associated with screw-driven Stewart platforms, such as pitch errors, backlash, and friction.
With our design, you can move in X or Y with just one axis, tip or tilt with just three legs of the tripod, and rotate around the Z-axis by adding a 360-degree rotary stage in the middle of the tripod. These features, along with many other specific details, make the Hybrid Hexapod® an ideal solution for any application requiring 6-DOF positioning with nanometer/arc-sec levels of incremental motion and repeatability.
If you’re looking for a unique design that can simplify your six-dimensional motion while drastically increasing your working cubic volume, turn to the Hybrid Hexapod® from ALIO Industries.
