The SMH‑V series is a nanometer‑precision Z‑axis lift stage, including models SMH115V‑010, SMH165V‑020, SMH190V‑035, and SMH225V‑050, with strokes of 12 mm, 22 mm, 37 mm, and 52 mm respectively. As a key complement to the ART130XY and SMH‑LM series horizontal stages, it offers compact dimensions, low profile, excellent accuracy and repeatability, fine minimum step resolution, high load capacity, and short step settling time. Its clever mechanical design ensures precision and load capacity while saving installation space.

Despite its compact build, the SMH‑V delivers robust driving capability with a maximum load of 60 kg. When equipped with linear amplifiers in a vibration‑isolated laboratory environment, it achieves in‑position stability and minimum step size below 20 nm, with repeatability better than ±200 nm. Typical applications include wafer defect inspection, optical lens inspection, biomedicine, and precision machining. Optional brakes with power‑off self‑locking are available without significantly increasing stage height, and custom strokes and higher load capacities can also be provided upon request.
