The AVS1000 model features a large access opening for microscopes or imaging applications where an uninterrupted optical path is required or where tooling is integrated under the top plate to keep the point of interest low.
The vertical lifting table has a centered load capacity of 135 kg and is available in a selection of vertical travel ranges of 5 mm or more, depending on the application. With a positioning resolution of five nanometers, the table offers calibrated accuracy better than +/- 1.0 microns and bidirectional repeatability of up to +/- 0.5 microns.
The AVS1000's aluminum base material features a durable black anodized finish for the standard range or an alternative chemical nickel finish for ESD protection applications. A cleanroom-compliant version is also available, as well as vacuum-ready versions for 10⁻³ (raised) or 10⁻⁶ (raised) torr.
The AVS1000 includes a NEMA 34 motor mount for use with Aerotech's BMS series servomotors for smooth motion. The 1000-line rotary encoder can be selected as either TTL or Sine to suit customer resolution requirements.
These tables can be used alone or in conjunction with linear or rotary tables for a complete multi-axis micro-positioning solution. AVS1000 tables are available with standard or HALAR accuracy, where factory-measured interferometer errors are stored in the motion controller and compensated for to improve accuracy and repeatability. Control is achieved through a combination of software and hardware and includes advanced motion commands that optimize performance, reduce setup time, increase production capacity, and enable a better finish on manufactured parts.
