SolarScribe Photovoltaic Panel Scribing System

The SolarScribe automation series is the most comprehensive photovoltaic panel scribing system available today. It includes both mechanical and air-bearing versions of split-axis and gantry-style systems for maximum application flexibility.

The PRO165 is a rugged, value-driven linear stage from Aerotech that is ideal for applications requiring debris protection and medium travel, mid-tier positioning performance. It is similar in design to the PRO115 series, providing additional load carrying capability with larger bearings and a wider cross-section.

The AOM110 series optical mounts have a gimbal design at a low cost. The narrow profile design of these optical mounts permits maximum clear aperture at 45°. The axes are decoupled and orthogonal; crosstalk and iterative adjustments are eliminated. For your convenience, the AOM110 series is part of our Fast Delivery Service (FDS) program.

The ABL1500 linear-motor-driven air-bearing stage incorporates an active preload on both the vertical and horizontal surfaces. It provides outstanding stiffness that is ideal for heavy or offset loading. The BLMC series brushless linear servomotor utilizes an ironless forcer for zero cogging, no attractive forces, and unsurpassed smoothness of motion.

Fast Delivery Service — Stages, Motors, and Controllers When You Need Them

Aerotech’s Fast Delivery Service (FDS) provides our customers with quick turnaround times on selected Aerotech stages, motors, and controllers. Turnaround times are under 10 days for stages, and under 5 days for motors and controllers.

Aerotech’s latest brochure, Advanced Electromechanical Systems for Aerospace, Defense, and Government, showcases our extensive lines of motion simulators, multi-axis gimbal systems, single- and multi-axis positioning systems, and advanced control systems.

Aerotech's ALAR series direct-drive rotary stages provide superior angular positioning and velocity control with exceptionally large apertures. With the combination of a large aperture and direct-drive motor, the ALAR series offers significant performance benefits versus worm-drive large aperture stages.

ABRS Series Air-Bearing Rotary Stages

ABRS series direct-drive, air-bearing rotary stages have been optimized to minimize stage height. The low profile of the stages reduces the effective working height of the system, minimizing “stack-up” related errors. In addition, the ABRS series provides a clear aperture that can be used for product feed-through, laser beam delivery, cable clearance, or application-specific requirements.

Ensemble™ Epaq is a stand-alone controller with up to six axes of motion control in one integrated package. It offers functionality appropriate for applications from basic laboratory experimentation and general purpose positioning to advanced OEM systems at an affordable price. The flexible configuration style allows users to seamlessly mix and match drive types (linear versus PWM, brush or brushless, stepper, etc.) within the same positioning system using a common programming and control platform.

AMG position and rate gimbal mounts are direct-drive and provide ultra-precise angular position, rate, and acceleration for directing optics, lasers, antennas, and sensors at high speed to very precise pointing angles. Typical applications include missile seeker test and calibration, LIDAR, electro-optical sensor and FLIR testing, airborne targets tracking, optical testing of space-based sensors in a vacuum, and angular testing of inertial sensors such as gyros, MEMS, accelerometers, and inertial reference units.
