AGS1500 Series Linear Motor Gantries Gantries Optimized design for precise contouring in a compact footprint High power brushless linear servomotors for smooth motion Travels up to 500 mm X 500 mm available of performance and precision. The rugged noncontact optical linear encoders offer resolutions to 1 nm when coupled with Aerotech’s controllers. Optional electroless nickel for ESD protection Rugged Design Customizable Z and θ axes for flexible configurations The linear motor is a noncontact device, resulting in no backlash, wear, or maintenance. The bearings are preloaded linear motion guides with wiper seals and grease fittings, and are mounted to provide optimized dynamic stiffness and load distribution. Noncontact linear encoders Configurable cable management system allows for integration of fiber lasers, cameras, air lines, etc. for multiple applications 24/7 Operation Around the World The AGS1500 series of Cartesian gantry systems is designed for ultra-precision, high-dynamic contouring, providing outstanding performance and versatility in a wide range of automation platforms. The planar design minimizes dynamic pitch errors at the workpoint. AGS1500 systems can be found in production plants around the world, in applications including precision micromachining, stencil cutting, fuel cell manufacturing, solder-ball placement, printed electronics, high-speed pickand-place, automated assembly, vision inspection, dispensing stations, and high-accuracy inspection. The AGS1500 is based on the industry-leading AGS15000 gantry, and maintains many of the same leading-edge characteristics. The AGS1500 design keeps the linear motors and linear encoders to the outside of the work area. This design makes the gantry less susceptible to debris-induced damage. Long-Lasting Cable Management System The cable management system (CMS) is optimized and field-proven as the industry’s most reliable design. Large bend radii and high-flex cables ensure that the AGS1500 provides millions of cycles of maintenance-free operation. In the unlikely event of a component failure, a modular design ensures that part replacement is fast and easy. All customer cabling and pneumatics can be routed through the system e-chain. Connectors are provided at the workpiece and at the opposite end of the e-chain, greatly simplifying final machine integration. Turnkey Operation Aerotech’s years of experience manufacturing precision positioning and control systems can be leveraged by acquiring a turnkey system. Typical options include Z-theta mechanisms, risers to accommodate automated parts handling equipment, brackets for flying optics components, isolation systems, and machine bases that are designed to accommodate the entire controls and electronics subsystems. High Speed/High Acceleration System Controllers Aerotech’s high-performance BLMC and BLM series brushless linear servomotors drive the AGS1500 to speeds of 3 m/s and accelerations of 5 g. Dual linear motors and encoders are included on the lower axis for the highest level Aerotech manufactures a wide range of amplifiers and advanced motion controllers that are optimized for highperformance automation applications.
