Aerotech's AVS100/AVSI100 series stages offer the ideal solution
for applications that require very small incremental movements
in elevation above a horizontal plane. Low profiles and precise
motion capability make these stages ideal for use in semiconductor
wafer inspection and testing, fiberoptics assembly and inspection,
automated tool alignment, machine vision inspection systems, and
laser machining applications.
The AVSI100 series stages provide identical performance to the
AVS100 stages, but in an even smaller footprint. The AVSI100 integrates
the motor directly with the drive screw with no motor coupling.
This makes the stage significantly shorter in length.
Quality Design Provides Superior Performance
The AVS100/AVSI100 series provides precise elevation of a load
in a vertical plane using a moving wedge design. The precision
machined wedge block converts horizontal movement from a precision-ground
ball screw to vertical elevation of the AVS100/AVSI100 series
tabletop.
Sealed linear motion guide bearings with integral wipers are incorporated
to provide excellent payload capability, long life, and smooth,
precision motion. Stable and parallel vertical motion with no
rocking or horizontal deviation of the platform is ensured.
Careful design of the wedge angle and bearing system allows the
AVS100/AVSI100 series to achieve submicron resolution and still
maintain a compact profile. The optional HALAR factory calibration
option is available to further increase standard accuracy and
repeatability.
A Better Approach to Vertical Motion
The vertical lift approach offers an alternative to traditional
Z-plane oriented stages. Not only do the AVS100/AVSI100 series
stages offer a lower profile, but the load can also be accessed
easily from any side. And by centering the payload over the bearings,
there are no cantilevering effects. The AVS100/AVSI100 series
stages provide a space-saving alternative to traditional XYZ systems
and are equally suited to laboratory and industrial applications.
Optional stage finishes are available for various environments,
including vacuum preparation.
Additional Standard Features
All AVS100/AVSI100 series stages are equipped standard with integral
limit switches and mechanical hard stops. The stage tabletop is
treated with a Teflon®-impregnated hardcoat (Rockwell 62 hardness)
that is scratch-resistant and provides outstanding protection
in the harshest environments. The stage itself has a black anodize
finish.
