The XLA™ 9 handles loads of over 3,500 lbs Static, 2,300 pounds Dynamic based upon 2 million inches of travel. Assembled with SMI™ unique Rigid Plus™ base, the XLA™ 9 provides the user with a solid mounting structure capable of handling large loads without deflection.

The XLA™ 9 is only 3.75” wide and 1.99” tall. All Components used are designed with keeping the foot print small and the capacities large.

The XLA™ 9 can achieve speeds of up to 6" per second with a standard motor and ball screw. Lead screws will allow speeds of up to 60" per second. Faster speed or greater positional accuracies can be achieved with SMI™ engineering assistance.

The XLA™ 9 can be delivered as a single unit with travel lengths up to 45”.

The XLA™ 9 is built using SMI™ Rigid Plus™ extrusion designed to allow exceptional structural strength even when used without support. The XLA™ series was seen as a solution to cross axis applications where the Rigid Plus™ extrusion would enable the XLA™ 9 to become a structural member without the need for expensive base mounting structures. This Feature makes the XLA perfect for a cross axis (Y Axis) on a gantry application.

All XLA™ series products incorporate a t-slot channel along the full length of the base. This bilateral channel allows for quick and easy adjustment for limit switches and/or other peripheral add-ons. The channels available on the underside of the base are configured in such a way to allow for simple mounting in an XY configuration.

Multiple axis units can be easily joined without the need for additional mounting plates. The mounting holes in the XLA™ carriage match mounting holes in the XLA™ base.

The XLA™ can be mounted in XY and Z configurations with the SMI™ optional Z bracket.

The XLA™ 9 incorporates an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum base and components, stainless steel ball screw, stainless steel profile guide rails (with wipers), shielded and sealed end support bearings making the XLA™ 9 perfect for those not so perfect environments. Also available as optional items are way covers and submersible stepper motors.

As with all SMI™ Stages and systems, we offer complete packages for single axis to multi-axis systems.

These packages include power supplies, indexer, controllers, joy stick controls, remote controls and even foot controlled systems.

For more details and to begin creating your complete mechanical motion controlled solution contact an SMI™ sales respresentative.

Every XLA™ series product is delivered complete and ready to run straight out of the box. Each XLA™ is hand assembled at SMI™ with all alignment, pre-load and straightness "dialed-in" and is shipped complete to include stepper motor and wiring*.

If you would prefer, SMI™ can include all drives, indexers and power supplies required to make your system complete to your exact needs.

*Note: Wiring is included if an entire package system is ordered. Otherwise, wiring is a separate line item charge.
