AGS1000 series Cartesian
gantry systems put Aerotech's core technologies and extensive manufacturing
capability to work for you, providing outstanding performance and versatility
in a wide range of automation platforms. AGS1000 systems are ideal for applications
such as high-speed pick-and-place, automated assembly, vision inspection, dispensing
stations, and high-accuracy inspection. The AGS1000 is based on Aerotechs
industry leading AGS10000 gantry, and retains many of the same leading-edge
technologies.
Linear Motor/Linear
Encoder
Aerotech's high-performance BLMC series brushless linear servomotors drive the
AGS1000 to speeds of 2 m/s and accelerations of 2 g. Feedback is from a rugged,
noncontact optical linear encoder. Resolution options range from 10 nm to 1.0
µm. The design of the AGS1000 is optimized to account for thermal expansion
to ensure high accuracy under all operating conditions.
Rugged Design
Since the linear motor is a noncontact device, there is no backlash, wear, or
maintenance. The bearings are preloaded linear motion guides with wiper seals
and grease fittings and are mounted to provide optimized stiffness and load
distribution. Standard lubrication is clean-room compatible.
Cable Management System
Extensive R and D has resulted in an optimized cable management system (CMS)
that has been field-proven to be the industry's most reliable design. Large
bend radii and high-flex cables ensure that the AGS1000 provides millions of
cycles of maintenance-free operation. In the unlikely event of a component failure,
the modular design ensures that part replacement is fast and easy.
All customer cabling and
pneumatics can be routed through the system e-chain. Connectors are provided
at the workpiece and at the opposite end of the e-chain, greatly simplifying
final machine integration.
Turnkey Operation
Acquiring a turnkey system can leverage Aerotech's vast experience manufacturing
precision positioning and control systems. Typical options include Z-theta mechanisms,
risers to accommodate automated parts handling equipment, and machine bases
that are designed to accommodate the entire electronics subsystem. In addition,
Aerotech manufactures a wide range of high-performance amplifiers and advanced
motion controllers that are optimized for use with our high-performance gantries
to provide a complete electromechanical solution.
