Ultra-thin stage with electric actuators placed on the single plane
- It makes the center of gravity of the entire equipment lower enough.
- Various table movements are possible by operating three actuators placed on the single plane individually.
Operating Principle

Driving the U axis moves the table in the X direction

Driving the V and W axes the same amount in the same direction moves the table in the Y direction

Driving the V and W axes the same amount in the same direction while driving the U axis moves the table diagonally

Example of rotating the table using the table center as the axis of rotation (θ axis)

Example of rotating the table using an arbitrary point as the axis of rotation (θ axis).
NAF3series Type-C
NAF3 Series Type-C uses “preloaded double slide structure”, which places an intermediate plate sandwiched between two upper and lower plates for 3-axis actuator (U/V/W) and slide section.
Lots of balls placed between each plate allow smooth planar rolling motion, “Preloaded double slide structure” makes stages thin, compact and highly rigid for highly accurate positioning.


NAF3series Type-D
Type-D does not use “preloaded double slide structure”, Type-D possesses unique advantages with a wide range of motion and a larger central opening.

Applications for NAF3 series
- semiconductor manufacturing equipment, testing equipment.
- Panel joining and mounting equipment(LCD, EL, touch panel, solar cell).
- Printing equipment(Chip components, PCB, FPC).
- Microscope stage and so forth.
