The ABL1000 3D series is the highest performance miniature, three-axis air-bearing stage available. Aerotech has combined over 30 years of precision motion control and positioning system experience with the latest technologies to produce a truly outstanding miniature, linear air-bearing stage.

The linear positioner is a fully preloaded, noncontact design. Inherently frictionless, air bearings have proven to be the standard in precision applications, and Aerotech has now produced a miniature version that is well suited for fiberoptics, photonics, and general-purpose nano-positioning applications. Driven by a noncontact linear brushless servomotor, this stage proves the ultimate solution whether the application requires small, accurate steps or constant smooth velocity. Years of research have resulted in a robust and perturbation-free cable management system.

Feedback and Control System
Directly coupled noncontact linear encoder position feedback is available with different options. A wide selection of state-of-the-art controllers is available, including the Automation 3200 software controller with digital drives, our PCI-bus-based U500, or the stand-alone U511.

Options
Convenient rack or panel-mount amplifiers are included with all systems. Aerotech's expert technical staff is experienced in custom system designs and will work with you to generate a system to meet the unique needs of your application.

Clean Room Compatibility
The air-bearing design is inherently clean-room compatible. A high quality cable management system, together with low particulate generation materials, provides compliance to Class 1 with proper integration.
