The AGS10000 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.
AGS10000 systems can be found in production plants
around the world, in applications including high-speed
pick-and-place, automated assembly, vision inspection,
dispensing stations, and high-accuracy inspection.
Linear Motor/Linear Encoder
Aerotech’s high-performance BLM series brushless linear
servomotors drive the AGS10000 to speeds of 3 m/s and
accelerations of 3 g. Both single and dual forcer designs are
available. Feedback is from a rugged noncontact optical
linear encoder. Resolution options range from 5 nm to 1.0
µm. Optimized to account for thermal expansion, the design
ensures high accuracy under all operating conditions.
Rugged Design
Since 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.

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. Large bend radii and
high-flex cables ensure that the AGS10000 provides
millions of cycles of maintenance-free operation. In the
unlikely event of a component failure, a modular design
ensures that part replacement is fast and easy.
All customer cabling and pneumatics can be routed through
the system e-chain. Connectors are provided at the
workpiece and at the opposite end of the e-chain, greatly
simplifying final machine integration.
Turnkey Operation
Aerotech’s years of experience manufacturing precision
positioning and control systems can be leveraged by
acquiring a turnkey system. Typical options include Z-theta
mechanisms, risers to accommodate automated parts
handling equipment, and machine bases that are designed to
accommodate the entire electronics subsystem.
Aerotech manufactures a wide range of high-performance
amplifiers and advanced motion controllers that are
optimized for high-performance automation applications.
