Description
Design Features
- Features large, clear aperture up to 200 mm for mounting optics, cameras, process equipment, cabling & more
- Configurable with direct encoder option for enhanced positioning precision
- Accommodates payloads up to 425kg
- Offers continuous 360° rotation with configurable travel limits available
- Integrates easily in multi-axis configurations
Key Applications
AGR stages are ideal for a variety of precision industrial and laboratory applications, including:
- Laser processing
- Measurement & inspection
- Sample positioning
- Nondestructive testing
- Pointing, scanning & tracking
- Integration into gimbal systems
Construction Features
The presence of a large, clear aperture in the stage allows the AGR series to address applications requiring a through-hole or accommodations to mount an optic, including articulation of beam polarizing lenses, through-holes for cabling and/or air lines, or vision/camera/inspection applications.
The AGR stage base is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that offers significant weight savings in multi-axis arrangements and other weight critical applications, while providing high structural stiffness and long-term stability.
Each stage is designed with two high-precision angular contact bearings with optimal spacing to provide excellent error motions coupled with high load capacities in a small, compact package.
Flexible Options
Options include flexible motor selections as well as a direct encoder mounted to the stage shaft for outstanding repeatability and to virtually eliminate hysteresis and backlash. Vacuum-compatible versions (for use in pressures as low as 10-6 torr) are also available.
Motor and Drives
Standard AGR stage configurations feature Aerotech’s brushless servomotors. However, all AGR stages can be outfitted with stepper or DC brush motors. A full range of matching drives and controls are available for a complete single-source solution.
