Home >> Linear Stages >> ATS1000 Linear Stage

The ATS1000 is a compact, high-performance stage that is as accurate as it is versatile. It provides a small cross-section, medium payload capacity, environmentally protected, cost-effective solution for precision applications. A rigid base and high-performance brushless servomotor make the ATS1000 the stage of choice in industrial applications such as laser machining, or in any other application requiring high accuracy in a production environment.

Construction Features
The tabletop utilizes stainless steel Helicoil™ inserts to protect mounting holes against thread wear. For industrial applications that expose the stage to debris, both full bellows waycovers and a hard cover with side sealing are available as options. These durable waycovers protect both the precision-ground ball screw and linear guide bearing system over the entire travel of the stage. An optional air-purge fitting is available that allows air to be forced into the body of the stage. This creates a positive pressure that prevents particulates from entering the stage.

High Performance and Versatility
Sealed linear motion guide bearings with integral wipers are incorporated to provide excellent payload capability and long life. The precision-ground ball screw offers application versatility by providing high speed without sacrificing resolution or accuracy. The optional HALAR factory calibration option is available to further increase standard accuracy and repeatability.

Motor and Drives
All ATS1000 series stages include Aerotech’s high performance BMS series brushless, slotless servomotor. Aerotech manufactures a wide range of matching drives and controls to provide a fully integrated and optimized motion solution.

Hard Cover Features
Both the metal waycover and tabletop are treated with a Teflon^®-impregnated hardcoat (Rockwell 62 hardness) that is scratch-resistant and provides outstanding protection in the harshest applications. An optional air-purge fitting is available that allows air to be forced into the body of the stage to create a positive internal pressure that resists particulates from entering the stage. The tabletop utilizes stainless steel Helicoil™ inserts to protect mounting holes against thread wear. Optional stage finishes are available for various environments, including electroless nickel plating and vacuum preparation.
