AP Series Air Bearing Direct Drive Rotary Tables0 pages

AP Series Direct Drive Air Bearing Rotary Tables

A high precision range offering great versatility at moderate cost.

The Key Advantages;

Applications

Intended for fine inspection, metrology and test applications.

Construction

High grade stabilised cast iron base and rotary platen ensure rigidity and precision. A direct drive

motor is positioned on axis adjacent to the angular encoder. Radial air bearing constructed of

hardened stainless steel.

Bearing

The AP Series tables utilise the same air lubricated hydrostatic bearings as the AB series

combined with a direct drive motor and high accuracy angular encoder. The encoder couples

directly to the motor control system, which has its own high-resolution interpolator. The system

ensures high motor stiffness, precise positioning and repeatability.

Clamping

Torque motor maintains platen position during measuring process.

Measuring Systems

Precision angular encoders set on axis with DRO or NC systems.

Motors

Direct drive motor is positioned on axis. The system has the capability to increment to extremely

fine levels. The Heidenhain / Renishaw angular encoder couples directly to the motor control

system, which has its own high-resolution interpolator. The system ensures high motor stiffness,

precise positioning and repeatability.
