ABL 1000 series stages are the highest performance miniature air-bearing
stages 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.
Linear 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. Driven by a noncontact linear brushless servomotor, this
stage proves the ultimate solution whether the application requires
small, accurate steps or constant smooth velocity. Superior magnetic
field and motor coil design result in the highest force output
of any miniature air-bearing stage. This stage offers superior
servo performance. Years of research have resulted in a robust
and perturbation-free cable management system.
Feedback and Control System
A wide selection of state-of-the-art motion controllers are available, including the Automation
3200 software controller with digital drives, and the Soloist and Ensemble controllers (including the stand-alone Ensemble™
Epaq).
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. |
