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.
