Aerotech’s ANT130-5-V is a linear-motor-driven wedge-style
vertical lift stage that provides the exceptional resolution, accuracy, and
in-position stability required in nanopositioning applications, all while
offering travel up to 5 mm. It is a precision stage that is perfectly at home
in industrial applications. The ANT130-5-V was designed for stand-alone use or can
be seamlessly integrated with other stages in the Aerotech ANT stage family for
a superior multi-axis nanopositioning system.
ANT130-5-V stages utilize advanced direct-drive technology,
pioneered by Aerotech, as well as anti-creep crossed-roller bearings to achieve
the highest level of positioning performance. Aerotech direct-drive technology
is non-cogging, noncontact, high-speed, high-resolution, and high-accuracy. The
lack of hysteresis or backlash enables accurate and repeatable nanometer motion.
The unique drive and bearing combination, packaged in an extremely compact profile
and footprint, offers tangible advantages in high-precision positioning applications.
The ANT130-5-V family has universal mounting and tabletop
patterns that allow for easy system integration. Two, three, or more axes can
be easily combined for flexible system designs and multi-axis configurations.
Outstanding accuracy, position repeatability, and
in-position stability require high system resolution. The ANT130-5-V stage’s
industry-leading 2 nm minimum incremental step size provides this high level of
performance.
