ANT130R Single-Axis Rotary Direct-Drive Nanopositioning Stages

Built for power and ease of use, the Automation1 Motion Development Kit (MDK) is the most user-friendly interface available for industry-leading precision motion control.

Our Automation1 Software-Based Machine Controller (iSMC) tightly integrates precision motion with process control.

The Automation1 XR3 is a high-performance, six-axis servo motor drive rack that provides precision motion to some of the highest performing automated processes in the world. The industry-leading positioning accuracy and repeatability of the XR3, coupled with its 3U 19” rack-mounted package size and convenient d-sub connectors, allow for simple integration. The XR3 also has configurable and field-replaceable front-mounted amplifier cards.

The Automation1 XC2e pulse-width modulation (PWM) servo motor drive is our smallest panel-mount drive. It’s also packed with standard features–including safe torque off (STO), a data array of more than 16 million 32-bit elements and an enhanced current sense device–and options for adding an I/O expansion board, multi-axis position synchronized output (PSO) and a feedback multiplier.

Using silicon carbide (SiC) power amplifiers with ultra-precise PWM switching, the XC2e offers excellent in-position, move and-settle and contouring motion control performance. Digital and analog outputs are set and inputs are collected at 20 kHz, allowing for ultra-tight process control.

Our second-generation ANT130L linear stages are the leading solution for addressing your nanometer-level motion and positioning needs. Available in a variety of configurations, they excel at delivering superior accuracy, repeatability, speed and reliability. Their impressive dynamic capabilities and ample load capacity make ANT130L stages an excellent choice for your high-precision industrial or research process.

Our ultra-precise ANT130XY stages deliver superior planar performance with excellent geometric characteristics, thanks to an integrated two-axis design. Equipped with stiff, anti-creep crossed-roller bearings, high-resolution position feedback and ironless linear motors to achieve the smoothest, most precise motion possible, ANT130XY stages can be further enhanced with ultra high-accuracy 2D calibration to optimize even the most demanding inspection and manufacturing processes. Plus, the dynamically optimized design results in impressive speed and process throughput.

ANT130LZS stages represent the pinnacle of vertical motion performance with an ultra-low profile.  Featuring dual side-mounted pneumatic counterbalances with extremely low frictional characteristics, they superbly combine accuracy, repeatability, speed and reliability. With their impressive dynamic capabilities and ample load-carrying capacity, ANT130LZS stages are the ideal choice when you need superior vertical motion in a compact form factor.

ANT95R direct-drive rotary stages provide unprecedented motion performance, including in-position stability and minimum incremental motion down to 0.01 arc sec and below. Plus, with a height of only 48 mm, ANT95R’s ultra-compact form factor allows for simple integration with other motion axes and systems. This combination of outstanding performance and small size helps to mitigate design tradeoffs without compromise. The direct-drive, ironless motor facilitates ultra-smooth motion with excellent dynamic performance, making ANT95R ideal for processes that require both high throughput and ultra-fine precision.
