I have an application where I need linear motion over a short distance with micron level accuracy. So, ideally the stage would move in increments of about 0.00005" and have a range of at least around 0.002" so about 40 steps altogether, although 100 steps would be nicer. It can be manual, does not need to be automated.
The problem with most high precision stages is that they use micrometers for movement, so the motion is continuous (and often there is no back pressure, so there are backlash issues). I was kind of hoping for a stage that has a stepped motion with some kind of detente, so I can click in the distance I want in increments of 0.00005". Is there anything like that?
