The ATS1500 series provides a flexible platform
that makes it an outstanding selection for use as a general purpose
positioner.
Flexible Options
With a range of drive-screw options, the ATS1500 can be configured
to meet the needs of any application. Three levels of drive-screw
accuracy grades are available ranging from a low-cost lead screw
to a high precision, ground ball-screw. Screw pitches can be either
4 mm/rev or 0.2 in/rev.
A fail-safe brake is available for vertical applications to prevent
the stage from backdriving during a power-off condition. Standard
brackets simplify configuring the ATS1500 for use in multi-axis
configurations.
Construction Features
The ATS1500 features a large moving carriage that provides the
user with a large area to mount fixturing. All table mounting
holes are fitted with Helicoil™ stainless steel inserts
to permit multiple screw insertions without thread wear. Both
metric and English bolt-hole and mounting patterns are available.
Accurate optical limit switches and cushioned end stops protect
the stage and motor from overrun.
Motors and Drives
Aerotech’s BMS series brushless rotary motors are included
with all ATS1500 series stages. This motor has all of the advantages
of a brushless motor – high acceleration and no wear –
at the price of a stepper motor. Both DC and stepping motors also
are available.
Aerotech manufactures a wide range of amplifiers and controllers
to provide a fully integrated and optimized motion solution.
