The ATS5000WB 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
ATS5000WB 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 ATS5000WB’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 ATS5000WB 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.
Improved Performance
By increasing the overall width of the stage, the spacing between
the linear bearings was dramatically increased. This wider spacing
allows the ATS5000WB to handle high cantilever loads and still
maintain the high accuracy expected of an Aerotech product. In
XY systems, this wider base translates into greater support for
the upper axis, effectively increasing its performance, particularly
when handling a heavy load.
High precision options include noncontact linear encoders with
submicron repeatabilities and HALAR and HALSF factory calibrations
that further improve the standard accuracy, straightness, and
flatness specifications.
Motor and Drives
Included with all ATS5000WB 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. For maximum performance, a
linear motor version is available – please refer to the
ALS5000WB.
