Excellent accuracy from air bearing stages
Aerotech has launched a new range of air-bearing stages called the ABL2000, available in travel lengths up to 1.2m and speeds from 0.1mm/second to 3m/second.
The program uses a Microsoft.NET Framework environment to create a motor and application sizing platform for Aerotech's full range of iron cored and slotless linear motors, brushless rotary servomotors, DC servomotors and microstepping motors.
Users can calculate individual motor sizing or size motors together with integral Aerotech positioning stages in single or stacked multi-axis configuration.
It is possible to size a series of moves for one axis and determine their combined effect in a complete sequence with regard to RMS force or torque and motor heating.
Both imperial and metric units can be mixed within the same calculation.
Individual move profiles or entire sequences may be plotted and projects can be saved, loaded and printed.
Sizing calculations can also be made using third-party motor specifications and the results compared with Aerotech's range.
A comprehensive help section is also included with setup assistance and practical overviews for all menu items included in the V1.02 motor sizing program. Request free introductory details about products from Aerotech ...
