Aerotech
Linear Translation Stages
Aerotech
offers a complete line of screw-driven stages to complement the Laser Edge direct-drive
product line. All stages
have
an integral metal waycover that is impervious to the hot sparks and debris that
are a by-product of laser processes. Both
-impregnated
hard coat (Rockwell 62 hardness) that is scratch resistant
the
waycover and tabletop are treated with a Teflon
®
and
provides long lasting durability. The stages are further protected by a tensioned
side-seal system. The side-seal system is
in
a vertical orientation that prevents the accumulation of debris, which is a
common problem in captive bellows or top-
sealed
systems. An optional air-purge is available that allows air to be forced into
the body of the stage, creating a positive
pressure
that prevents fine particulates from migrating into the stage.
