Conversion of Drawings to Solid Models & CAD Drawings

At Racaw Ltd, we specialise in the conversion of traditional drawings into solid models and detailed CAD drawings, enhancing the accuracy and functionality of your designs. Our team uses advanced CAD software to transform 2D sketches, hand-drawn plans, or outdated formats into precise 3D solid models, offering a clearer and more accurate representation of your product. This process allows for easier modifications, better visualisation, and seamless integration into manufacturing workflows. Whether you need to update existing designs or create new ones from original drawings, Racaw Ltd ensures high-quality, fully detailed CAD models that meet your specific requirements.

2000 Series Stage

Using rail bearings and ground ballscrews, the 2000 series offers good load bearing capability, long travel with high accuracy and economy. Travel ranges of up to 500mm as standard make the 2000 series exceptionally versatile whilst the optional bellows covers provides protection for the stage and other equipment.

Adjustable magnetic limit and datum switches are integral within the stage.
Stepper or servo motors are compatible with 2000 series stage.

2500 Series Stage

Using rail bearings and ground ballscrews, the 2500 series offers good load bearing capability, long travel with high accuracy and economy. Travel ranges of up to 500mm as standard make the 2500 series exceptionally versatile whilst the hard top cover provides protection for the stage and other equipment.

Adjustable magnetic limit and datum switches are integral within the stage.

Stepper or servo motors are compatible with 2500 series stage.

3000 Series Stage

A compact design with miniature rail bearings, G0, 1mm pitch ground ballscrew and travels from 25 to 100mm, the 3000 series linear stage offers stability and accuracy in a small package size.

Both 17 frame size stepper and small servo motors with encoders are easily integrated onto the stage, offering resolutions to 0.1µm and better. Integrated mechanical datum and limit switches are common to all the models and connections are made by way of a secure 15 way D type connector.

4000 Series Stage

Designed for compact, low-profile and high accuracy applications, the 4000 Series stages use cross-roller bearings and precision G0 ballscrews mounted to one side. Travel range is 25 to 200mm.

This design allows the mounting of high accuracy linear scales, protected, within the stage assembly, on the side opposite the ballscrew. The ratio of base thickness to stage envelope ensures a superior trajectory performance. Limit and datum switches are also integrated within the stage. High resolution stepping motors or servo motors are mounted to an adaptable motor mount assembly. All connections are securely made through a single 25 way D connector.

9000 Series Stage

With miniature rail bearings and a short stroke leadscrew with a Delrin nut assembly, the series 9000 provides linear movement from a wide range of small motors.

The compact design allows installation in tight spaces for remote adjustment of focusing, tension, sensor position and many other continuousmovement applications.

12000 Series Stage

Where heavier loads requiring greater stability must be moved with accuracy and stable velocity, the Series 12000 stages will perform that task reliably. With a 250mm base width, single and multi-axes configurations are available for demanding applications.

Using high load capacity, four journal rail bearings and a high precision ground ballscrew, these stages offer accurate control of position suited to laser machining and optical positioning systems. Limit and Datum switches are fitted. Switch, motor and encoder connections are made through QM connectors.

Available with stepping or servo motors with encoders. Linear encoders internally fitted are an option. Protective bellows fitted as standard.

29000 Series Stage

For applications where a lower cost low profile XY stage with good performance is required, the Series 29000 offers a compact design with those characteristics.

Using ground ballscrews or optional leadscrews for economy, this compact XY stage is available in 50x50, 100x100 or 150x150 travels. Stepping motors are standard but servo motors are optional. Crossed roller bearings are used for good stability, within an economical design.

Limit and Datum switches are optional. A linear encoder with integral Limit and Datum switch function can be optionally fitted.

5000 Series Stage

An accurate, heavy-duty range of rotary stages which allows precise rotary positioning of objects by stepping or servo motor control. A precision worm and wheel with a 90:1 gear ratio provides repeatable, zero-backlash positioning with high load capacity.

A magnetic Datum switch is included. Stepping or servo motor control with a rear- mounted encoder ensures accurate indexing. All connections are made through a secure QM 19 way connector. A through-hole feature is standard on all Series 5000 rotary stages.

Systems

We supply bespoke systems from initial concept to finished article. Our approach is flexible, so we are happy to engage at a level that suits the customer from purely a design exercise to complete ownership.
