SMCs LAT3 card motor is a compact, thin (same size as a business card) electric slide table with a linear motor and displacement sensor integrated into one unit.  It is compact and lightweight with positioning and measurement capability. The LATC4, card motor controller offers 2 methods of step data setting. 

The LAT3 Card Motor deviates from LE actuators by implementing a unique magnetic linear motor. The ultra-compact body, integrating the recirculating ball guide, motor and encoder, is about the size of a credit card and only 9mm high. Positioning repeatability is ±5 μm, with an operating rate of up to 500 cycles per minute.
