Utilizing
linear motor direct-drive technology, LMA- and
LMAC-based
systems can dramatically improve
acceleration,
speed, throughput, and accuracy of DNA and
Proteome
research processes when compared to traditional
ball
screw or belt-driven actuators. The LMA series has
integral
cable management that can be expanded to include
electrical
and pneumatic signals to actuate dispensing heads,
reducing
the implementation complexity and improving the
reliability
of the overall system. In addition, Aerotech offers
a
complementary line of drives and controllers to provide a
complete
solution to your automation needs.
Aerotech’s
long history of producing robotics for the
semiconductor
industry gives us an edge when you need the
resolution
and accuracy required for a high density,
photolithographically
manufactured array. The LMA
provides
±1 µm accuracy over 25 mm, allowing manufacture
of
even the highest density photolithographically produced
microarrays
with 20 µm features. The LMA is also well-
suited
for use with inkjet and pin-based dispensing
technologies,
where its superior speed and acceleration can
significantly
boost your throughput.
