Cartesius, Aerotech’s industrial strength Cartesian robot,
is built on the Aerotech Producer Series linear stages and is
ideal for many automation applications including pick and place,
assembly, test and inspection, dispensing stations, and many more.
Highly Configurable
Cartesius standard configurations include left or right
handed XY, XYZ, and XZ systems. Stages can be side or
base mounted and the Z axis can be base or carriage
mounted. An optional rotary axis can be mounted to the Z.
The integrated cable management is connectorized for easy
disconnect for customer cables and air lines. All stages
have environmental protection, servomotors with encoders,
integral limits, and multiple ball-screw leads providing a
wide range of speeds and resolutions. If a standard
configuration does not meet the application requirements,
Aerotech can design and manufacture a custom Cartesius
robot.
Competitive pricing coupled with Aerotech’s reputation for
producing high-quality linear motion systems make
Cartesius an attractive robot for medium-performance
applications.
Cable Management System
Aerotech’s extensive design experience with 24/7 production
equipment has resulted in an optimized CMS that is field proven
to be the industry’s most reliable design. Large bend radii
and high-flex cables ensure that the Cartesius CMS 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.
Customer cabling and pneumatics can be routed through the
CMS system. Connectors are provided at the workpiece and
at the base, greatly simplifying final machine integration.
Rugged Construction
Cartesius is configured with Aerotech’s Producer Series
stages: PRO115, PRO165, and PRO225. These precision
ball-screw stages are driven with brushless servomotors
with encoders for position feedback. The stages are
designed with hard covers and side-seals for protection
from debris. The robust aluminum cover is hard-coated to
provide a scratch resistant surface. The side seals keep dirt
and particulates out of the stage and protect the bearing surfaces and ball screw from contamination. The vertical
orientation of the seals easily deflects debris away from the
stage.
Easily Accessible Mounting
The Cartesius mounting holes in the base are accessible from the
outside of the stage for ease of integration. The cover does not
have to be removed when mounting the robot to a base. The tabletop
is available with both metric and English hole patterns as well
as hole patterns that allow direct attachment of Aerotech’s
ADRS and ACS-LP series low profile, direct-drive rotary stages.
The Producer Series
The PRO115, PRO165, and PRO225 are optimized for medium-performance
applications. The PRO115 is the smaller standard-duty stage, while
the PRO165 and PRO225 provide additional load carrying capability
with larger bearings and wider cross-sections.
NEMA Flange-Mount
All stages have a NEMA flange-mounting interface for attachment
of a wide variety of Aerotech and third-party motors. Aerotech
can provide brush, brushless, and stepper motors preconfigured
and mounted directly to the stage for integration with Aerotech
controls. Or the stage can be purchased without the motor and
cable management for the attachment of third-party motors.
Aerotech’s BMS series brushless, slotless servomotor with
standard TTL encoder output provides a resolution of 0.5 to 2.5
micron. An optional analog output encoder can be coupled with
external interpolation electronics to provide higher resolution
(up to 5 nanometers). A holding brake can be added to the vertical
axis motor, and a motor fold-back kit is available for space-constrained
applications to reduce the overall stage length.
Turnkey Operation
Leverage our years of experience manufacturing precision positioning
and control systems by selecting a turnkey system-level option.
Typical options include Z-theta mechanisms, risers to accommodate
automated parts handling equipment, and machine bases designed
to accommodate the entire electronics subsystem. Aerotech also
manufactures a wide range of high-performance amplifiers and advanced
motion controllers optimized for automation applications.
Gantry Robots
If a gantry-style robot is required for your application, refer
to Aerotech’s extensive gantry offerings. Aerotech gantry
systems use our own brushless linear servomotors with high accuracy
linear encoders. Aerotech gantries are deployed worldwide in numerous
24/7 industrial automation applications including assembly, pick
& place, stencil cutting, fuel cell manufacturing, sensor
testing, and more.
