Air-Bearing Split Bridge Gantry
Description
Design Features
- Large format air-bearing motion system designed and commissioned to minimize errors at the customer’s work point
- Sub-micron accuracy tolerances about the work point
- Up to 100 kg load capacity for customer parts
- XYZ linear air-bearings with two rotational air-bearing tables built onto a mechanically stable granite base
- Supported by an air isolation system and steel weldment to minimize external disturbances
- All axes are direct driven by either linear motors or frameless rotary motors to achieve precise control over position, velocity, and acceleration
- Five axis coordinated control capabilities utilizing an Aerotech motion controller
- Switch between cartesian XYZ processing and tool-point kinematics capable of positioning the tool normal to curved surfaces
- Example applications include micromachining, laser machining, surface profiling, and many more
