Motorized XY stages | Microscope stages
High-speed, low-profile piezo XY stage for OEM applications
The XWS is a motorized XY stage that gives you fast and precise planar motion while also providing you plenty of power and a large surface and aperture.
Ideal for OEM applications such as automated imaging, metrology & precision liquid handling.
For larger quantities, the XWS can be customized to specific needs. Its low-profile design allows for easy OEM integration.
Available with an M6 breadboard insert and several other inserts.

Technical details
CrossFixx™ high-speed piezo motor
The XWS is driven by Xeryon's patented Crossfixx™ motor. This ultrasonic piezo motor is the backbone of all of our motion products.
It marks a breakthrough in motion control, as it offers all of the advantages of piezo technology without the drawbacks typically associated with it.
Combining speed, precision, range and power with durable, silent operation, the compact, low-profile Crossfixx™ motor is a viable alternative to traditional piezo motors as well as electromagnetic motors.
Motor-only units are available for OEM projects.
Xeryon ultrasonic piezo working principle.
Made in Europe. Trusted globally.
+ Over 500 NDA's
The speed and precision of Xeryon’s stages enabled us to significantly improve our microscope design and disrupt the market. Most importantly, it has allowed our customers to accelerate scientific discovery. It’s rare to achieve such a technological leap.
Director of R&D
Fluorescence microscope manufacturer
Our laser systems use a large system of motorized optics. After experiencing quality and delivery issues with our main supplier, we decided to give Xeryon a try. They have proven to be a reliable supplier, and we found their piezo stages to be much more durable than the ones we used before.
Senior Optomechanical Designer
Ultrafast laser source manufacturer
At first, I found it hard to believe this level of performance could come from such a compact package. Xeryon’s technology was the only solution that made it possible to build the machine our company had envisioned, enabling the next generation of automated test equipment. Their team was also incredibly helpful in answering all of our integration questions.

Microscope XY stage | 'XWS'
The XWS is a precise, high-speed motorized XY stage driven by two ultrasonic piezo motors. This allows for fast positioning with submicron or nanometer precision. The self-locking piezo motor holds the position of the stage when it is not powered. As a result, heat dissipation is considerably reduced.
With its speed and precision, it is a perfect match for applications such as automated imaging, next-gen sequencing (NGS), laser systems, sample scanning, automated inspection and other metrology, precision manufacturing and microscopy applications.
