1 APR Series Rotary Stages APR Series Direct-Drive Rotary Stage Accuracies to 1.5 arc second load capacity up to 2 kg Incremental or absolute encoders Large bearings provide high payload and moment load capacity rpm continuous rotation speed Seven models are available, each with either, 75, or 1 mm clear aperture APR stages are perfect for rotary testing, pointing, optical calibration systems and metrology systems. Aerotech s APR series direct-drive rotary stage is excellent for high-accuracy rotary positioning. The precisionmachined and ground stage parts coupled with highprecision angular contact bearings result in exceptionally low error motions, accuracy errors, and repeatability errors. In addition, high resolution optical encoders provide excellent pointing capability with low-jitter velocity tracking. Applications The APR stages are perfect for rotary testing, pointing, optical calibration systems, and metrology systems. Several more specific applications include single and multi-axis electro-optic sensor testing, resolver or optical encoder accuracy testing, missile seeker testing, antenna testing, inertial navigation device testing, photonic component alignment, high-accuracy laser machining, and precision wafer inspection. Multiple APR stages can be combined for high-accuracy azimuth/elevation or azimuth/roll systems. Vacuum-prepared and other customized versions are also available for specialized applications. Accurate Positioning with Incremental or Absolute Encoders The APR provides the flexibility of using high-resolution absolute or incremental optical encoders. The absolute encoder option allows instant initialization at the time of power up and eliminates the need for a home cycle. Incremental encoders are available for a cost-effective, accurate, high resolution, high dynamic performance stage. Both incremental and absolute encoders provide exceptional accuracy and fine stepping capability. The APR stages are available with high-accuracy encoder options. In addition, calibration can be employed to further improve the accuracy of all APR stages. Superior Mechanical Design The motor and high-performance encoder are directly coupled to a common shaft, and the absence of gears, belts, or other drive-train mechanisms results in elimination of position error caused by hysteresis, windup, or backlash. Precision machining and grinding techniques used on the stage parts, along with precision angular contact bearings, ensure that tilt (wobble), axial, and radial error motions are minimized. An optional tabletop provides a larger surface area and an expanded hole pattern for payload mounting and allows for configurable limited travel options up to 27. The tabletop options also include angular graduation marks for easy visual recognition of the stage position. Low Total Indicator Runout (TIR) Mounting Surfaces On standard APR stages, the payload is mounted directly to the precision-ground stage shaft via an eight-bolt hole pattern on the top of the shaft. The top surface and the aperture of the shaft are precision machined for minimal surface runout with respect to stage motion. Precisionground tabletop options provide more traditional metric or English hole-patterns while maintaining low surface runout of the tabletop mounting surface and aperture. High Speed, High Bandwidth Rapid acceleration and high velocity are key features of the APR stages. Customers can command rapid incremental or continuous rotary motion with the high-torque brushless 33

2 APR Series DESCRIPTION motors in the APRs. Due to the direct-drive motor and the stage s high stiffness, the APR can provide high-bandwidth motion for oscillations, motion profiling, and rapid position or velocity tracking. Brushless Direct-Drive To maximize positioning performance, the APR series utilizes Aerotech s brushless, slotless motors. Various winding options and motor stack heights are available for applications ranging from high-speed at a low input voltage or low current to high torque at a higher voltage. The motors are noncontact, so there are no brushes or gears to maintain. This allows the APR stages to provide many years of high performance operation with low cost of ownership. The motor s slotless, ironless construction features almost zero cogging (torque ripple). This makes the APR ideal for applications requiring outstanding contoured motion, smooth scan velocity, and precision motion profiling. High Load Capacity and Large Moment Stiffness Sturdy stage construction and separated angular contact bearings result in large load capacity and high moment stiffness for the APR stages. The APRs can excel in applications where the rotation axis is parallel or perpendicular to gravity and the payload center of gravity is cantilevered away from the stage. Flexible Controller Configurations Aerotech designs and manufactures a wide range of servo amplifiers and advanced controllers to provide a complete, integrated electro-mechanical package. Aerotech linear amplifiers provide the most precise positioning for demanding accuracy and in-position stability. Aerotech PWM digital drives provide high power for rapid acceleration and high torque applications. Whatever your application, Aerotech can provide a complete motion system solution to perfectly match your requirements.
