Alternative Knobs (Manual Series only) – The knob with a crank is standard on Velmex XY Tables Series AXY40 and AXY60. A Graduated Knob with the scale mounted on the top side of the base is available as an option on Series AXY40 and AXY60 Tables.

Locks – (Manual Series only) - Are required on both axis.

Thumbscrew-on-Lead-Screw Lock (-TL) (AXY40 and AXY60 only) – An easy method to affix the slider utilizing a simple thumbscrew on the lead screw at the end bearing block of each axis. Not available on AXY25.

Slider Lock (-SL) (AXY25 only) – This lock is mounted at the mid-point on the base and is tightened to prevent slider movement. The lock is mounted on the slider/carriage on each axis.

For details see Motion-Locks page.

Revolution Counter (Manual Series Only) – A mechanical revolution counter provides a convenient 1/10 revolution increment count. Readouts in either 0.01" or 0.1 mm.

Aperture (Manual AXY25 only) – Square window through center for a variety of optical and alignment applications including microscope and laser positioning, inspection, etc. .

Finishes (Manual or Motorized Series) – Standard UniSlide Assemblies have a brushed aluminum finish. Optional finishes are available at an additional charge and include:

• Black Anodizing, additional colors also available. (pictured)
Other coatings maybe available with a minimum lot charge:
• Hard Coat Anodized and dyed black
• Electroless Nickel Plated
• Specialized coatings for specific applications such as food processing or medical applications
• Modifications for use in a vacuum environment

Encoders and VRO™ Encoder Readout (Manual or Motorized Series) – For a high resolution position readout an encoder and Velmex's VRO encoder readout can be mounted to most linear UniSlide assemblies. An encoder, mounted directly to the slider gives a true and accurate reading eliminating lead screw and backlash errors.

The VRO Readout is compatible with all 5V incremental encoders. It can monitor one or two axis. Fully functional, it features automatic memory back-up of settings, sleep mode and self diagnostics. It's highly visible, wide-screen LED display makes it easy to view the positioning results. (Not available on all UniSlide models.) SEE: Velmex Controls on the Encoders and the VRO Readout for additional details.

Limit Switches (Motorized Only) – Outboard adjustable and fixed end-of-travel limit switches are available as an option.

Outboard Adjustable Limit Switches – Mounted on the side rib of Velmex UniSlide Assemblies, these switches can be used to stop travel, provide more stops than the standard two, over-travel a stop point, change speed or be active in only one direction.

Fixed, End-of-travel Limit Switches – These push button switches are fixed on the side rib of Velmex Unislide Assemblies. They are not adjustable.

See Limits for more information.

Motors – A variety of motors are available to power Velmex UniSlide Tables most popular of which is the DC step motor. Gear motors, servo motors and high resolution step motors in both AC and DC can run Velmex UniSlide XY Tables. SEE: Velmex Controls on the Motors for additional details.

VXM™ Controller – Step motors coupled with a motor controller like the Velmex VXM™ are a cost effective solution for accurate speed and precise incremental positioning. SEE: Velmex Controls on the VXM Controller for additional details.
