Increased areal density and smaller drive size have
resulted in considerably smaller suspension arms.
To satisfy the needs of the industry, Aerotech has
developed the ANT series linear and angular
positioners. These super-precision, direct-drive
stages provide the performance and reliability
required for 24/7/365 manufacturing while minimizing
space requirements.
Highly configurable and customizable
mechanical solutions, along with state-of-the- art
control offerings, enable manufacturers to assemble
HGA and HSA manufacturing systems to suit a variety
of different processes.
