AVS100 Series Mechanical-Bearing Screw-Driven Lift Stage
Aerotech’s AVS100 series stages offer a solution for applications that require very small incremental movements in elevation above a horizontal plane. Low profiles and precise motion capability make these stages ideal for use in semiconductor wafer inspection and testing, fiberoptics assembly and inspection, automated tool alignment, machine vision inspection systems and laser machining applications.

Quality Design Provides Superior Performance
The AVS100 series provides precise elevation of a load in a vertical plane. Rotational movement of a precision-ground ballscrew is converted into vertical elevation of the AVS100 series tabletop.
Sealed linear motion guide bearings with integral wipers are incorporated to provide excellent payload capability, long life, and smooth, precision motion. Stable and parallel vertical motion with no rocking or horizontal deviation of the platform is ensured.
Careful mechanical design allows the AVS100 series to achieve submicron resolution and still maintain a compact profile. The optional factory calibration option is available to further increase standard accuracy and repeatability.
A Better Approach to Vertical Motion
The vertical lift approach offers an alternative to traditional Z-plane oriented stages. Not only do the AVS100 series stages offer a lower profile, but the load can also be accessed easily from any side. And by centering the payload over the bearings, there are no cantilevering effects. The AVS100 series stages provide a space-saving alternative to traditional XYZ systems and are equally suited to laboratory and industrial applications. Optional stage finishes are available for various environments, including vacuum preparation.
Additional Standard Features
All AVS100 series stages are equipped standard with integral limit switches and mechanical hard stops. The stage tabletop is treated with a Teflon®-impregnated hardcoat (Rockwell 62 hardness) that is scratch-resistant and provides outstanding protection in the harshest environments. The stage itself has a black anodize finish.

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. This is typically used for spare parts, replacement parts, or items that will not be used or shipped together (ex: stage only). These components may or may not be part of a larger system. |
