The ATS5000 was designed to meet the needs of the
most demanding applications. A rigid base, fully sealed metal
waycovers, and high-performance brushless servomotor make the
ATS5000 the stage of choice in industrial applications such as
laser machining, ceramic scribing, or any other application requiring
high accuracy in a production environment.
Rugged Construction
The greatest attention to detail is evident in all aspects of
the ATS5000’s design. The tabletop utilizes stainless steel
Helicoil™ inserts to protect mounting holes against thread
wear. An integral metal waycover is provided to protect the stage
from hot sparks or debris. Both the metal waycover and tabletop
are treated with a hardcoat (Rockwell 62 hardness) that is scratch-resistant
and provides outstanding protection in the harshest applications.
To further provide the stage with protection from a caustic environment,
the ATS5000 utilizes Aerotech’s unique tensioned side-strap
system. The straps are in a vertical orientation that prevents
debris from accumulating on top of them, and are tensioned to
create a tight seal. 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 any particulate, no
matter how fine, from entering the stage.
To aid in system assembly, the base mounting holes are located
outboard of the stage. Therefore, the stage can be mounted without
removing the hardcover.
High Performance
The base of the ATS5000 is machined from special aluminum alloy
tooling plate to provide high stiffness and long-term stability.
Sealed linear motion guide bearings with integral wipers are incorporated
to provide excellent payload capability and long-life, even with
heavy offset loads.
Noncontact linear encoders with submicron repeatabilities are
available on all ATS5000 series stages. Optional HALAR and HALSF
factory calibration options are available that further increase
the standard accuracy, straightness, and flatness specifications
to even finer precision.
Motor and Drives
Included with all ATS5000 series stages is Aerotech’s high
performance BM series brushless servomotor. Aerotech manufactures
a wide range of matching drives and controls to provide a fully
integrated and optimized solution. Optional brushless and slotless
(BMS series), NEMA 34 DC brush, and microstepping motors are also
offered. For maximum performance, a linear motor version is available
– please refer to the ALS5000.
