The FiberGlide 3D series represents the highest performance miniature
three axis 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 that is well-suited for the photonics industry. 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, featuring the Automation 3200 software
controller with digital drives.
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.
