Manual Precision Linear Stages: Essential Solutions for Precision Machinery and AOI Equipment
In today’s advanced manufacturing industries, manual precision linear stages play a critical role as key mechanical components. They are widely used in precision machining, optical instrumentation, electronic inspection systems, and AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) equipment. These devices provide precise positioning and fine-tuning capabilities, with stable structures and easy operation, making them indispensable platforms in automated systems.
📌 Structure and Technical Features of Manual Precision Stages
Manual precision stages consist of a high-rigidity platform, adjustment knob, and precision linear guide. This design ensures low-friction movement and high linear accuracy, making it suitable for both single-axis and multi-axis positioning applications.
Example: HXCRS40 Series
Platform size: 40 × 40 mm
Material: High-strength aluminum alloy
Movement: Manual fine adjustment
Guide mechanism: Optional crossed roller bearing guide for enhanced stability and anti-deviation performance
Features: Smooth motion, high positioning accuracy, excellent repeatability
Additionally, these stages offer strong load-bearing capacity and long-term durability, ideal for environments requiring stable positioning over extended periods.
⚙️ Application Scenario 1: Precision Machining
In CNC machining and mold manufacturing, the manual linear stage serves as a tool for micro-positioning adjustments. For example, during workpiece setup or tool alignment, the stage allows for fine-tuning of position, improving machining accuracy and final product consistency.
In mold component assembly, micron-level adjustments made using manual stages help improve the fitting accuracy of mold parts and reduce defects, ultimately ensuring product quality.
🔍 Application Scenario 2: AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) Equipment
In AOI systems for inspecting electronic components and PCBs, manual stages are used to adjust the position of optical lenses, CCD modules, or the test object. Their high repeatability and fine adjustment capabilities are essential for achieving optimal detection precision and system stability.
Real-world examples include:
Moving the inspection camera to specific solder points
Fine-tuning focus and angle of view
Improving overall AOI system alignment and recognition accuracy
By providing a stable and predictable positioning mechanism, manual stages help ensure high-quality and efficient automated inspection workflows.
