Categories Related to Manual Stages
A manual stage is a stage that can be moved manually in any direction and positioned with a clamp.
Depending on the product, manual stages are adjustable in multiple directions, such as horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
When considering the use of manual stages, it is necessary to consider the direction of movement, the adjustment range, and whether the adjustment with an automatic stage is required.
