Gantry positioning system
max. 1 000 x 1 000 mm, max. 1 m/s | ABG10000 Series Aerotech

The ABG10000 air-bearing gantry puts Aerotech's core technologies and extensive manufacturing capability to work for you, providing outstanding performance and versatility in a wide range of automation applications.

These systems are used in applications such as high-speed pick-and-place, automated assembly, vision inspection, dispensing stations, and high-accuracy inspection.

Linear Motor/Linear Encoder
Aerotech's high-performance BLM series brushless linear servomotors drive the ABG10000 to speeds of 1 m/s and accelerations of 0.5 g. Feedback is from a rugged noncontact optical linear encoder.

Air-Bearing Design
The ABG10000 incorporates an active preload on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The opposing thin-film pressure maintains the bearing nominal gap tolerance. This design, in addition to the large air-bearing surface that distributes the load over a large surface area, results in a stage with outstanding stiffness that is ideal for heavy or offset loading.
