velmex bislide assemblies

Why BiSlide?
Used primarily for motor driven applications, manual BiSlides may be a better choice because:
-- they are less expensive when compared to Series A40, A60 or B90 UniSlides when travel distances greater than 20"-30"
-- you want a stage that is easily converted from manual to motor driven use
-- you require hard coat anodized finish (standard for BiSlides). And you need it soon.
-- they do not require adapter plates or brackets to make multi-axis systems
-- higher cantilevered load capacity when compared to comparable UniSlides

revolution counters for bislide

Photo 4: Counter increments 10 times per turn. Resolution: 0.001" or 0.01 mm. The last significant digit is read from the white lines far right side.

To order BiSlide with a counter, add two digits to end of model as follows:

12 = horizontal; counts + from knob end
14 = horizontal; counts + from end plate end

13 = vertical; counts + from knob end
15 = vertical; counts + from end plate end
