Linear motors are often thought of as either flat or U-channel designs. But tubular, or shaft-type, linear motors have a construction principle that provides higher efficiency and makes them especially well-suited for gantry applications. Benefits of cylindrical design Tubular linear motors consist of a thrust rod (or tube) with permanent magnets and a stator (sometimes referred […]
Compact Linear-Motor Gantry from Aerotech
Aerotech’s AGS1500 series Cartesian gantry systems are designed for ultra-precision, high-dynamic contouring, and provide outstanding performance in precision micromachining, stencil cutting, fuel cell manufacturing, solder-ball placement, printed electronics, high-speed pick-and-place, automated assembly, vision inspection, dispensing stations, and high-accuracy inspection. The AGS1500 is based on our industry-leading AGS15000 gantry, and maintains many of the same leading-edge […]
