MOTOR POSITIONING TABLES: COLIBRI-L MPT -
Versatile combination options
Our motorized positioning table offers a robust, reliable and cost-effective solution for automated, linear positioning.
We offer the linear table motorized in two designs, short and long, each in two sizes. The short design is a space-saving solution for a stepper motor linear drive. The carriage guide is only mounted on one side. The long motor positioning table design, on the other hand, is mounted on both sides so that a rigid design is also possible with slim guide rails.
Accordingly, the guide rails on our electric positioning table have the same diameter for both sizes, but a different length.
The stroke is 24 or 30 millimetres for the short tables and 50 or 75 millimetres for the long tables. Other strokes are also possible on request. The diameter of the guides is 8 and 12 millimeters.
The motorized positioning tables can be combined with our Colibri stepper motors, which opens up a wide range of possible applications. Alternatively, the positioning tables can of course also be ordered with a suitable stepper motor or without a motor at all. For more complex tasks, the Colibri 17 drive can also be equipped with bus systems such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Ethercat, CANopen or Profibus.

Spindle tables for precise positioning tasks
Our spindle tables are compact and versatile linear units that can be easily integrated into existing machine concepts thanks to their clear, functional design and proven hole pattern. They can be easily combined to form multi-axis systems and are ideal for precise positioning applications.
Typical areas of application can be found in automation and laboratory technology, in special machine construction and in the optical and precision engineering industries.
Motorized spindle tables - robust, precise and low-maintenance
Our motorized spindle tables are characterized by precise movement, stable construction and high repeat accuracy. Four wear-resistant plain bearing bushes made of special plastic guide the slide precisely on two ground, stainless steel guide rods - with a guide play of less than 0.02 mm. The spindle pitch accuracy is ≤ 0.1 mm over 300 mm, while the spindle nut made of high-performance plastic runs smoothly on a stainless round thread spindle - with a backlash of less than 0.04 mm. The backlash-free bearing via a double-row angular contact ball bearing ensures maximum precision and smooth running in continuous operation
- Precise movement with minimal guide play < 0.02 mm
- Spindle pitch accuracy ≤ 0.1 mm / 300 mm
- Backlash-free bearing via double-row angular contact ball bearing
- Vibration-damping, shock-resistant and electrically insulating
- Easy to clean and virtually maintenance-free
A proven design concept that combines precision, stability and durability - ideal for demanding positioning and transport tasks in industrial automation
Flexible designs and drive options
Our motorized positioning tables are available in two sizes. Two versions are available for each size: a compact, short version with guide bearings on one side and a longer, more stable version with support for the guides on both sides. The drive arrangement can be either coaxial via a claw coupling or lateral via a toothed belt drive. The lateral drive can be mounted in four positions (90° each) depending on the installation situation. All spindle tables are optionally available without motor, with stepper motor or with stepper motor and integrated positioning control. The integrated controller has a program memory, incremental encoder and an intuitive software interface for easy setup. Each variant can be individually configured using our online configurator. Once added to the shopping cart, the appropriate order number is automatically generated.
Accessories and extensions
An extensive range of accessories perfectly complements our spindle table program. These include mounting plates, angle brackets and fastening elements that enable flexible integration into different machine concepts. Various sensors are also available for position monitoring, which can be integrated directly into the system or with suitable brackets to save space. This allows our spindle tables to be optimally adapted to the respective application and ambient conditions.

Frequently asked questions about motor positioning systems
What is a motorized positioning table and what is it suitable for?
A motorized positioning table is a compact spindle linear table with an attached drive for precise linear movements. Typical applications are assembly, testing and handling tasks where repeat accuracy and simple integration are important.
What stroke lengths and designs are available?
Depending on the model, short and long versions are available, e.g. with strokes of 24/30 mm (short) or 50/75 mm (long). There are compact versions as well as more stable versions with guides supported on both sides. Other stroke lengths are also available on request
What motor and control options are available?
The Colibri compact drive with integrated positioning control (e.g. Colibri 17) is installed as standard. Alternatively, tables are available with an attached stepper motor or without a motor (for customer-supplied drives). Interfaces such as digital I/O and fieldbus/Ethernet (e.g. Profinet, CANopen, EtherNet/IP) are available depending on the motor variant.
How can the drive be arranged?
The drive can be mounted coaxially via a coupling (inline) or laterally via a toothed belt drive. The lateral arrangement can be realized in four positions at 90° in order to adapt to the available space.
What accuracy can be achieved?
The tables are designed for precise positioning tasks. Depending on the series, ground guides, backlash-free bearings and spindle systems ensure high repeat accuracy and smooth running in continuous operation.
Are accessories and sensors available?
Yes, mounting plates, brackets, fastening elements, proximity switches and other sensors for position monitoring are available - and can be integrated into the modular system.
Can I configure and order online?
Motor positioning tables can be configured via the web store.
