The PRO115 is Aerotech’s smallest hard cover,
side-sealed stage design. Competitive pricing coupled with Aerotech’s
reputation for producing high-quality linear motion devices make
the PRO115 an attractive stage for medium-performance applications.
Rugged Construction
The hard-cover design provides protection from debris. The robust
aluminum cover is hard-coated to provide a scratch resistant surface.
The side seals keep dirt and particulates out of the stage and
protect the bearing surfaces from contamination. The vertical
orientation of the seals easily deflects debris away from the
stage. Competitive top seal designs can collect debris, resulting
in the eventual failure and replacement of the sealing mechanism.
NEMA 23 Flange-Mount
The PRO115 has a NEMA 23 flange-mounting interface for attachment
of a wide variety of Aerotech and third-party motors. Aerotech
can provide brush, brushless, and stepper motors preconfigured
and mounted directly to the stage for integration with Aerotech
controls. Or the stage can be purchased without the motor for
the attachment of third-party motors.
Easily Accessible Mounting
The mounting holes in the PRO115 base are accessible from the
outside of the stage for ease of integration. The cover does not
have to be removed when mounting the stage to a bread-board or
when attaching multiple stages together in an X/Y/Z system. The
tabletop is available with both metric and English hole patterns
and can be ordered with brush attachments to clear debris that
may collect on the hard cover. Tabletops with hole patterns that
allow the direct attachment of Aerotech’s ADRS and ACS-LP
series low profile direct-drive rotary stages are available.
Configuration Options
Aerotech’s BMS series brushless, slotless servomotor with
square-wave encoder output provides a net resolution of 0.5 micron.
An optional analog output encoder can be coupled with external
interpolation electronics to provide higher resolution. A holding
brake can be added to the motor for vertical applications. A motor
fold-back kit is available for space-constrained applications
to reduce the overall stage length.
