Cartesius DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

Aerotech’s BMS series brushless, slotless servomotor with

standard TTL encoder output provides a resolution of 0.5

to 2.5 micron. An optional analog output encoder can be

coupled with external interpolation electronics to provide

higher resolution (up to 5 nanometers). A holding brake can

be added to the vertical axis motor, and a motor fold-back

kit is available for space-constrained applications to reduce

the overall stage length.

Turnkey Operation

Leverage our years of experience manufacturing precision

positioning and control systems by selecting a turnkey

system-level option. Typical options include Z-theta

mechanisms, risers to accommodate automated parts

handling equipment, and machine bases designed to

accommodate the entire electronics subsystem. Aerotech

also manufactures a wide range of high-performance

amplifiers and advanced motion controllers optimized for

automation applications.

Gantry Robots

If a gantry-style robot is required for your application, refer

to Aerotech’s extensive gantry offerings. Aerotech gantry

systems use our own brushless linear servomotors with high

accuracy linear encoders. Aerotech gantries are deployed

worldwide in numerous 24/7 industrial automation

applications including assembly, pick & place, stencil

cutting, fuel cell manufacturing, sensor testing, and more.
