Precision Linear Motor Stage – XLM Series

Parker Logo

Product Overview

For machinery or instrument builders who need smooth motion and high precision, Parker offers the XLM series. The XLM is a linear positioner that provides micron level precision in three different profile widths from 125mm to 200 mm. Its modular design allows for easy assembly of multi-axis systems.

The XLM series is a precision machined, profiled guide linear positioner which is driven with linear servo motor technology, and utilizes selectable levels of linear encoder technology that are configured to match the application need.

The XLM positioner offers instrument builders a variety of different encoding technologies and resolutions to select from. Standard incremental optical resolutions range from one micron all the way down to ten nanometers. This optical encoder offers exceptionally low subdivisional errors, allowing for very tight control over velocity ripple.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
