Design Features

  • Direct-drive, slotless, brushless servomotor
  • Zero cogging motor for outstanding velocity stability
  • Outstanding error motion and wobble performance
  • Direct coupled, high-accuracy rotary encoder
  • Low-profile planar design
  • No mechanical contact

Compact Package

The design of the ABRS series direct-drive rotary stage has been optimized to minimize stage height. The low profile of the stage reduces the effective working height of the system, minimizing "stack-up" related errors. In addition to the low overall height, the ABRS series provides a clear aperture that can be used for product feed-through, laser beam delivery, cable clearance or application-specific requirements.

Superior Mechanical Design

The ABRS design features large air-bearing surfaces for high stiffness and load capacity, producing not only excellent axial and radial error motions but outstanding tilt error motion, as well. The resultant face error motion is significantly better than other rotary air-bearing tables and spindles, greatly benefiting applications requiring exceptional planar performance.

Brushless Direct-Drive

To maximize positioning performance, the ABRS series utilizes Aerotech’s S-series slotless, brushless motor. The motor uses an advanced magnetic circuit design to produce high torque output with minimal heat generation. The slotless design is inherently zero-cogging and torque ripple-free. This makes ABRS stages ideal for applications requiring smooth scan velocities at low or high speeds.

Accurate Positioning

An optical encoder is standard with the ABRS. When coupled with Aerotech's feedback multipliers and controls, resolutions of <0.03 arc second are achievable.

Custom Designs

Custom versions of the ABRS are available for rate table and inertial guidance test-stand applications.

Integration (Required)

Aerotech offers both standard and custom integration services to help you get your system fully operational as quickly as possible. The following standard integration options are available for this system. Please consult Aerotech if you are unsure what level of integration is required, or if you desire custom integration support with your system.

Option Description
-TAS Integration - Test as system
Testing, integration, and documentation of a group of components as a complete system that will be used together (ex: drive, controller, and stage). This includes parameter file generation, system tuning, and documentation of the system configuration.
-TAC Integration - Test as components
Testing and integration of individual items as discrete components that ship together. This is typically used for spare parts, replacement parts, or items that will not be used together. These components may or may not be part of a larger system.
