New 2-axis heavy-duty motorized stage series offers precision positioning for large samples

10.02.25

Prior Scientific has launched the HT11 Series, a new range of heavy-duty motorized stages designed for whole animal imaging and industrial applications.   

The series is based on Prior’s 2-axis HT1111LC heavy-duty stage. As a true 2-axis stage, it offers better positioning performance than combining two single-axis linear stages.    

The series comprises two models: the HT11300KT with a 300 x 300 mm surface area, and the HT11600KT with a 600 x 600 mm platform. The large area, combined with a load capacity up to 100 kg makes them ideal for complex experimental setups including whole animal behavioral electrophysiology equipment and industrial assemblies. Setting up equipment is easy on the M6-tapped breadboard pattern, which is compatible with both M6 and ¼-20 breadboards.   

Both stages have travel range of 108 x 108 mm, 0.02 µm resolution, and 06 µm/mm unidirectional repeatability. They also use Prior's patented Intelligent Scanning Technology (IST), ensuring optimal accuracy and linearity in performance.
