Question:

Dear Marc, I'm interested in your pad sets. Do you make them 100 mm square? Is there a cost sheet per type and quantity? I am familiar with some of your small precision position systems. Are you also making larger motion control stages?

Answer:

Thank you for reaching out with your questions about our isolation pads and motion control stages. Here’s a detailed response to your inquiries.

Custom Isolation Pads

We stock our isolation pad material in 1,000 mm x 500 mm sheets and cut them to size based on the order specifications. This approach allows us to offer custom sizes, including 100 mm square pads. Pricing for these pads depends on the material type and the specific dimensions required.

If you need assistance selecting the appropriate pad material, here are a few we commonly use:

• B13 W
• B30 W
• B32

These materials have been effectively used in precision stages in the past, providing excellent vibration isolation.

Larger Motion Control Stages

Yes, we also manufacture larger motion control stages. These systems can be mounted to granite blocks, which can vary significantly in size, some extending a couple of meters on each side. Additionally, these stages are often mounted on active isolation systems to ensure optimal performance and precision.
