ALIO Industries Hybrid Hexapod Angulares

ALIO’s patented next generation Hybrid Hexapod® takes a different approach to traditional 6 Degree of Freedom (6-DOF) positioning devices, and exhibits much higher performance at extremely competitive prices. Rather than 6 independent legs (and 12 connection joints) the Hybrid Hexapod® combines a precision XY monolithic stage, tripod, and continuous rotation theta-Z axis to provide superior overall performance. This renders traditional hexapod kinematics obsolete, with orders-of-magnitude improvements in precision, path performance, speed, stiffness and a larger work envelope with virtually unlimited XY travel, and fully programmable tool center point locations.

ALIO Industries Cartesian Gantries

A gantry robot consists of a manipulator mounted onto an overhead system and allows movement across a horizontal plane. Gantry robots are also called linear or cartesian robots and are typically large systems built with linear guide rails that undertake pick and place actions, and they can also be used in applications such as welding. Cartesian gantries are relatively simple to program when compared to alternative motion control solutions, and in addition, they are not limited by floor space constraints. ALIO’s cartesian gantries are characterized by large work areas and superior positioning accuracy. Read more...
ALIO Industries Micron 2 Motion Systems

ALIO has introduced its new µII (micro II) product line to compete in the lower cost, lower precision micron (µm) world. Demands for low cost, mid-precision, reliable long travel stages influenced ALIO decision as well as our loyal customer base to move into this market. As with all ALIO products, this line was designed using ALIO’s uncompromising standards of “quality first” thus providing the customer with long term reliable operation. Read more...
ALIO Industries Vacuum Compatible Motion Stages

ALIO’s extensive range of ultra-precise and repeatable motion control solutions (with the exception of its air bearing systems) are vacuum compatible. Linear, rotary, open center X-Y, hexapods, tripods and goniometer stages and systems are available in HV (10-7 TORR) or UHV (10-10 TORR) with ultra-low outgassing materials and components all carefully prepared and baked.

ALIO Industries Rotary Motion Systems

ALIO Industries has developed TRUE NANO™ precision rotary stages to meet and exceed today’s demand for high precision rotary motion. Our line of rotary stages continues to expand as we are willing to work with our customers to provide solutions that meet all their needs. Read more...
ALIO Industries Z-Lift & Vertical Motion Stages

ALIO Industries’ Z-Lift motion platforms were created to replace the inaccuracies of the ever present Z-Wedge vertical stages as well as reduce the footprint and improve performance of linear stages mounted in the vertical orientation. Every component in a motion stage adds to the total error. Since Z-wedges have a minimum of three machined components with complex angles, three sets of bearings, a motor via a coupling and an encoder, the result is a very inaccurate stage. ALIO answers this with a family of very high accuracy, high repeatable vertical stages. Read more...
ALIO Industries Air Bearing Systems

ALIO Industries has developed leading edge 6-D Nano Positioning™ air bearing motion systems for a wide range of applications in manufacturing, inspection/repair and metrology. With several patent pending designs for Planar and Nano Z™ ALIO is well positioned for the next generation application demands of TRUE NANO™ precision in PV, Semiconductor, Ink Jet Deposition, Lithography and Optical Inspection. Read more...
ALIO Industries Linear Motion Systems

ALIO linear products have been designed and manufactured to have no equal in the world for performance and reliability. ALIO’s mechanical bearing stages bearing stages can perform at a level of precision that the competition struggles to match with their air bearing stages. ALIO’s focus on 6-D Nano Precision™ only while others design and build to the 2-D world of planar repeatability and accuracy keep ALIO on the leading edge. All of the product families of ALIO linear stages have world class performance with variation of components such as motors and encoders to fit demanding applications or cost sensitive systems.
