Linear Translation Stages
•
Larger
cross section and linear guide bearings than the
ATS2000
provide increased stiffness and higher load-
carrying
capability
•
Precision
ground 0.2 in and 4 mm pitch ball screws with a
peak
linear speed of 250 mm/s (10 in/s)
•
Optional
sinusoidal and digital output linear encoders
•
Travels
up to 1000 mm (40 in)
•
High
load-carrying capability of 135 kg (297 lb)
•
100%
wider bearing separation than ATS5000
•
Wider
stage design improves cantilever load-
carrying
capability when used as the bottom axis
in
an XY configuration
•
Travel
to 1000 mm (40 in)
•
High
load-carrying capability of 135 kg (297 lb)
An
example of a four-axis X/Y/Z/rotary machining center is
shown.
The wider base of the ALS5000WB used in this system
gives
greater support for the upper axis, effectively eliminat-
ing
deflection induced errors that would be present with a
standard
width bottom axis.
