Dover Motion designs and manufactures motion systems used in life sciences, diagnostics, and industrial applications. The company focuses on enabling precise movement for imaging, optics, focusing, positioning, and motion control, and collaborates with clients to tailor solutions by combining standard linear and rotary stage platforms. Its products are designed to operate in demanding conditions, including high humidity, constrained spaces, vacuums, cleanrooms, and even outer space. Based in Boxborough, Massachusetts, the firm has a history spanning more than five decades and is part of the Ralliant family of instrumentation, automation, and sensing companies. Its customers are organizations in life sciences and diagnostics that require high-precision sample positioning and motion control for imaging and automated instrumentation. In 2025, it introduced the SmartStage Shuttle, a new product that expands its long-travel linear motion capabilities, and released an open-frame XY scanning stage to support transmissive imaging and automated workflows.
