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
