AXY25 Series Manual XY Tables
Three low profile models featuring an unobstructed work platform with a travel range of up to 4″ by 4″ (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm). Available with or without a center window / aperture.
The lower profile and manual only AXY25 series is designed utilizing four linear A25 UniSlide Assemblies, two working in tandem to provide smooth movement in each direction. Virtually self-contained this table features a height of under 2 1/2 inches and delivers optimal rigidity and support for cantilevered loads.
Standard lead screw advance is 0.100″/revolution.
All Velmex linear manual or motorized stages can also be combined in numerous XY configurations and, with the addition of adapter plates, used as an XY table.

For details see Motion-Locks page.
Revolution Counter
A mechanical revolution counter provides a convenient 1/10 revolution increment count. Readouts in either 0.01″ or 0.1 mm.
Aperture (Manual AXY25 only)
Square window through center for a variety of optical and alignment applications including microscope and laser positioning, inspection, etc. .
Finishes
Standard UniSlide Assemblies have a brushed aluminum finish. Optional finishes are available at an additional charge and include:
• Black Anodizing, additional colors also available. (pictured)
Other coatings maybe available with a minimum lot charge:
• Hard Coat Anodized and dyed black
• Electroless Nickel Plated

Applications and Examples
The example displayed may be a custom configuration, designed to the customer’s specifications; and not offered as a standard product. Custom configurations could contain custom, externally-fabricated components.
Here is a Velmex XY Table with A VRO Encoder Readout – This allows for a high resolution position readout.
An encoder, mounted directly to the slider gives a true and accurate reading eliminating lead screw and backlash errors.

Frequently Asked Questions
The part number can be found on the side one of the UniSlide assembly.
For troubleshooting guides visit the Troubleshooting Page and select your product from the dropdown.
Velmex XY Tables are made of two identical Velmex world renown UniSlide® linear stages mounted in XY. The pre-configured Tables also have a much larger payload plate and base plate.
Yes. Velmex Manually-operated XY Tables are standard with the W1 lead screw. Other lead screws are available as an option. Motorized XY Tables are available with most of Velmex’s standard and precision accuracy lead screws.
All of Velmex UniSlide®, BiSlide® and XSlide™ linear stages can be combined to make different size XY Tables to fit most any requirement. Thousands of different combinations are possible.
Lubrication is important for motion systems or wherever you want maximum life and the lowest friction. UniSlide Assemblies can be lubricated with Velmex Lubriplate Aero®. Only a few drops are required to keep your slide running smoothly. The load and hours of use effect the amount and frequency of lubrication. See the user guide that came with your UniSlide for recommendations.
