XYZ 3 Axis Manual Linear Stage 60x60mm Trimming Bearing Tuning Platform Sliding Table

I needed to micro position some stuff in 3 dimensions for some microscopy work and this works great. Pay attention to the size and adjustability of the platform because for most uses it would be too small. Not as much info in the description as you'd like and there are no drawings or instructions, so you have to know what you are doing. For instance, loosen all three knurled nuts before turning the positioning dials. Also, both the top plate and bottom plate are 60x60x6mm (That is about 2 and 3/8 inches square for those of you that can't think metric). There are 9 threaded mounting holes on the top that accept 4mm screws. The screw holes are centered 5mm off the edge of the plate. The bottom plate has 4x4.45mm through-holes centered 5mm off the edge of the platform to accept 4mm socket-head screws. To access these holes you need to move the x-feed all the way in one direction, install the first 2 screws, then move the feed all the way in the other direction to install the remaining two. Hope this is helpful. as an aside, if you need to provide a leveling function it is fairly easy to use the threaded holes on top to make a micro leveling plate similar to a 3-d printer bed because 6 of the threaded holed can be accessed underneath --you can get knurled 4 mm screws and install them from underneath the top and they become micro levelers (there is a bit more to it if you want springs, etc, but if you care about this sort of thing you get the picture).

Great stage for the price. See the images in the description for details on the dimensionsThe base of the stage has 2 x 2 holes spaced 50 mm apart in a square pattern. 4.5mm thru holes with a 7.9mm countersunk head in the top. The bottom plate is 6.9mm thick. M4x8 was perfect.Top plate is a set of 3 x 3 holes 25mm spaced apart. square layout. M4 threading.

As others have noted, this thing is small and has a pretty small travel distance. When you’re trying to survey a 20mm diameter sample and want to capture multiple 1mm x 2mm sections via high magnification photography, this tool is great to move from one site to another in a careful and controlled manner. It’s a solid tool for my work and at a reasonable price. I could also imagine using it to do some very fine, small piece manual machining.

When I initially received the product it did not have the screw size information. This was frustrating. However, after contacting the company they provided the correct information and have since updated their description to include this information.

Does not come with accessories like hex screws or tool bar holders and action is only used for very precise work.

Supplier needs to say what the platform screw size that fits.
