The PRO225LM is the medium-sized offering in
Aerotech’s PRO-LM series of high performance, cost-effective,
and versatile linear motor stages. The
PRO225LM is a good alternative to the PRO165LM for
applications that require higher stiffness, have larger
payloads, or require greater than 1 m of travel. A linear
motion guide bearing system and high-performance
brushless linear servomotor make the PRO225LM the stage
of choice in industrial applications such as laser machining,
medical component manufacturing, and other applications
requiring high accuracy in a production environment.
Construction Features
Sealed linear motion guide bearings with integral wipers
are incorporated to provide excellent payload capability and
long life. Both the metal waycover and tabletop are treated
with a hardcoat that is scratch-resistant and provides
outstanding protection in the harshest applications. The
tabletop utilizes stainless steel Helicoil™ inserts to protect
mounting holes against thread wear. Several tabletop
options are available for metric or English mounting, as
well as for direct interface with our popular ADRS, ADRT,
and AGR rotary stages. In
addition, configurable
cable management options
are available for single- or
multi-axis systems.
Linear Motor Drive
Aerotech’s high-power,
cog-free, BLM series
linear motor drives the PRO225LM. The non-magnetic forcer coil provides high
force with zero cogging for super-smooth velocity and
position control. This zero cogging design is ideal for
applications requiring outstanding contour accuracy and
smooth velocity profiling. As with all Aerotech linear
motor stages, the linear motor has zero backlash, no
windup, zero friction, and outstanding system
responsiveness. The magnetic field of the linear motor is
totally self-contained within the U-channel design. Many
high-performance applications cannot tolerate the stray
magnetic fields generated by flat motor magnet tracks.
High Performance
Noncontact linear encoders with micron-level
repeatabilities are standard on all PRO225LM series stages.
Either a line-driver output or amplified sine-wave output
encoder is available.
The optional HALAR factory calibration further increases
the standard accuracy and repeatability. Aerotech
manufactures a wide range of matching drives and controls
to provide a fully integrated and optimized motion solution.
