Description

Design Features

• Granite-based motion subsystem designed for high resolution processing of drums and mandrels
• Long-travel air-bearing stage built on a granite spar to minimize straightness and flatness errors
• High-precision direct-drive rotary stage for accurate feedback control
• Air-bearing focusing axis perpendicular to rotating drum
• Integrated 3-jaw chucks pre-aligned to lower system runout
• Easy transformation between rotating drum surface and traversing linear axis using an Aerotech motion controller
• Applications include lathe machining (additive or subtractive) and drum inspection/characterization
