The AGS1000 series of Cartesian gantry systems puts Aerotech’s core technologies and extensive manufacturing capability to work for you, providing outstanding performance and versatility in a wide range of automation platforms. AGS1000 gantries are designed for applications including high-speed pick-and-place, automated assembly, vision inspection, dispensing stations and high-accuracy inspection. •Linear brushless servomotors for superior performance and longevity •Customizable Z and theta axes for increased flexibility •Optional machine base and risers •Optional electroless nickel for ESD protection and medical applications •Compact design reduces overall machine size •Ideal for die bonding, wire bonding, WLP and DNA profiling The AGS1000 is based on the industry leading AGS10000 gantry and maintains many of the same leading-edge characteristics. Linear Motor/Linear Encoder Aerotech's high-performance BLMC series brushless linear servomotors drive the AGS1000 to speeds of 2 m/s and accelerations of 2 g. Feedback is from a rugged noncontact optical linear encoder. Optimized to account for thermal expansion, the design ensures high accuracy under all operating conditions. Rugged Design Because the linear motor is a noncontact device, there is no backlash, wear or maintenance. The bearings are preloaded linear motion guides with wiper seals and grease fittings and are mounted to provide optimized stiffness and load distribution. Standard lubrication is cleanroom compatible. Cable Management System Extensive R&D has resulted in an optimized cable management system (CMS) that has been field proven to be the industry's most reliable design.
