These motorized positioning stages that automate the scanning process of non-contact measurement sensors. We offer standard kits for certain sensors, but we can customize these stages as needed.

Configurations

Moving part, fixed sensor

This is the most common configuration. The part moves on the motorized stage and the sensor remains fixed above.

• Adjustable arm sets the sensor’s focal height
• Linear stage scans the part length specified by the operator
• Sensor remains stationary as the scan takes place

Moving sensor, fixed part

Sometimes it makes more sense to move the sensor and not the part being scanned. The sensor can be mounted directly to the motorized stage in these cases.

• Ideal for large or heavy parts
• Can be added in-line with other equipment
• Uses the same controls as the fixed sensor configuration above

Back to back sensors

Remove the “shadowing” effect of laser triangulation sensors by using a second sensor.

• Available in “moving part” and “moving sensor” configurations
• Both sensors are mounted to the Peak provided bracket
• Both sensors are configured on one controller

Point sensors

The same scanning stages can be used with point sensors. Shown here is a CL sensor from Keyence.

• Adjustable arm is used to set the sensors focal height
• The stage motion triggers the data acquisition
• The output is a profile line of data

This scanning stage kit is ready to be paired with a sensor controller

We provide the remaining electronics and cables that you will need. Plug your sensor controller in and start taking scans.

• Pre-wired 19″ common panel with all scanning stage components mounted
• Motor controller with encoder cable and push button
• Power supplies for both the motor controller and sensor controller
