The ATS0300 provides an economical solution for
applications requiring fine positioning in a confined area. ATS0300
series stages feature bases made from a special aluminum alloy
tooling plate for good stiffness and long-term stability. Other
high quality features are crossed-roller linear bearings for smooth
travel and excellent payload characteristics, a precision-ground
lead screw for high accuracy, and hardcoat treated base and table
for high resistance to marring and scratching. Table mounting
holes have Helicoil™ stainless steel inserts to permit multiple
screw insertions without thread wear.
The ATS0300’s precision-ground lead screw is available in
both metric and English leads. A fine pitch screw results in submicron
resolution.
Multi-Axis Combinations
ATS0300 series stages are easily configured in XY, XZ, or XYZ
arrangements. The precision-machined HDZ3 right angle L-bracket
is designed for Z-axis applications, and the HDT3 bracket is ideal
for lower profile configurations.
Options
Both metric and English mounting and bolt-hole patterns are available.
A large thru-hole aperture version is available that is ideal
for applications requiring backlighting. As is the case with all
ATS series stages, the ATS0300 may be vacuum prepared to 10-6
torr.
Motors and Drives
The standard motor included with the ATS0300 is Aerotech's BMS
series brushless, slotless motor. This motor utilizes an ironless
design so there is no cogging, which results in no torque ripple
throughout the range of motion. Aerotech’s amplifiers and
controllers range from easy-to-use point-to-point indexers to
sophisticated multi-axis contouring controllers. Form factors
include stand-alone controllers with RS-232 and IEEE-488 interfaces,
to the advanced software-based Automation 3200.
