Microscope Automation for Manufacturing and Quality Control

ASI offers a wide range of products for automating common light microscopes. The products listed here deal with precise motion control. Our highly accurate MS-2000 and MS-4000 units with linear encoders can provide scale resolutions of 10 nm, and repeatability factors down to 300 nm in the XY coordinates. Our large MS-8000 motorized stage offers a 200 x 200 mm travel range.

To view virtually any sample or specimen, we offer stage inserts for all our stages to hold many items, including 100 mm semiconductor wafers.

Our SZ-2000 automates stereo zoom microscopes by combining motorized focus, automated zoom control, and even automated XY translation stage choices, with optional footswitch control.

The precision, quality, and unique features of our MFC-2000's make them the finest Z-axis drives in the world, whereas our innovative PZ-2000 and PZU-2000 have a piezo Z-drive incorporated right in the top plate of our XY stage. This precludes the complications of adding piezo components to microscope objectives for nanometer Z-axis control. Both products offer a very fast and accurate auto-focus option that runs off of any standard analog video signal.

In situations that require stepper motor devices, ASI can provide open-loop stepper motor versions of many of our stages, focus controllers, and linear positioners.

If you need to increase the throughput of your inspections, to acquire precise Z-axis measurements, or to simply automate mundane tasks, ASI has the right product for you. If you want to assemble your own system, combine ASI products with our RAMM Rapid Auntomated Modular Microscope System.
