 Mercury™ 1500 and 2000 model encoders enable high precision performance for Applimotion's HO Series servo motor. This new servo motor provides much of the performance of a precision rotary stage, but at a fraction of the cost. It's ideal for OEM applications. Applimotion is an innovator in the field of direct-drive solutions thanks to its focus on leading-edge servo motor applications. According to Rob Mastromattei, marketing manager at Applimotion, "We develop engineered solutions based on our proprietary servo motor technology. In this metrology application, we used MicroE Systems' Mercury™ encoders with our HO Series servo motor. This hybrid design allowed us to create a rotary stage that bridged the performance gap between a typical servo motor and an expensive high-precision direct-drive rotary stage."

Before specifying
the HO Series rotary stage, the motion platform of this metrology
system was running open loop. The choice of motor compromised system
accuracy and restricted throughput. In addition, the motor resulted
in undesirable heating effects. The HO Series rotary stage, with
the Mercury™ encoder, eliminated these problems. A bolt-in
NEMA 23 size replacement for the old open loop motor, the HO Series
