Navigate with Nanometers. Focus with Confidence. Image with Precision.



In advanced microscopy, whether for live-cell imaging, fluorescence studies, or super-resolution techniques, motion control is key to clarity. XYZ positioning stages must deliver sub-micron precision, stability, and smooth travel to ensure accurate focal alignment and reproducible imaging results.



Helix Linear Technologies provides ultra-precise ball screws and linear actuators engineered for automated microscope stages. Our low-backlash, high-efficiency motion components enable nanometer-scale movement across all three axes, ensuring stable imaging even during time-lapse or high-magnification capture.



Designed for low noise, minimal vibration, and compatibility with cleanroom or lab environments, Helix motion systems support the demands of cutting-edge optical research and diagnostics.



Key Benefits:



  • Sub-micron positioning accuracy for sharp, high-resolution imaging



  • Ball screws optimized for smooth, low-backlash motion in XYZ axes



  • Quiet, stable performance reduces vibration and image drift



  • Compact, customizable solutions for automated stage integration





Helix delivers the motion that keeps your optics steady and your insights sharp to advance discovery, one micron at a time.
