ANTXY Series NANO Technology ANTXY Series Two-Axis XY Direct-Drive Nanopositioning Stages Integrated low-profile XY linear motor stage Nanometer-level performance in a large travel format High resolution ( nm), repeatability (75 nm), and accuracy (5 nm) In-position stability of < nm nano Motion Technology AWARDS Anti-creep crossed-roller bearings High dynamic performance with direct-drive technology ULTRA performance grade option Introduction The ANTXY series stages offer nanometer-level performance in XY travels up to 6 mm. The integrated, sleek design provides an extremely low profile of only 85 mm. The stage comes with proprietary direct-drive motor technology, noncontact linear encoders, limits, integrated cable management system, and three performance grades. Ultra-Precise Stage Design The ANTXY design allows critical elements such as orthogonality, straightness, and flatness to be optimized, resulting in a stage with exceptional geometric tolerances. Aerotech s direct-drive technology has no hysteresis or backlash, enabling accurate and repeatable nanometer-scale motion in both the X and Y dimensions. All travel options (6 mm x 6 mm, mm x mm, 6 mm x 6 mm) come with the 85 mm profile height. The integrated cable management system is designed for long life and to minimize drag forces. Noncontact Direct-Drive Only noncontact direct-drive technology offers the robust, accurate, and high-speed positioning necessary for mass production of precision devices. ANTXY stages utilize advanced direct-drive technology pioneered by Aerotech to achieve the highest level of positioning performance. This direct-drive technology is high-performance, non-cogging, noncontact, high speed, high resolution, and high accuracy. This unique drive and bearing combination, packaged in an extremely small-profile and footprint, offers tangible advantages in many applications such as high-precision positioning, disk-drive fabrication, fiber alignment, optical www.aerotech.com delay element actuation, sensor testing, and scanning processes that demand smooth and precise motion. Multi-Axis Configurations The ANTXY can be combined with other Aerotech ANT series products (vertical lift stages, direct-drive rotaries, and goniometers) to create unique, high performance, multi-axis systems. ULTRA Performance Grade Option In order to achieve the highest possible system accuracy from our multi-axis nanopositioning systems, Aerotech has developed an advanced, dynamic trajectory calibration system. To take advantage of this sophisticated calibration system, the mechanical system has to be completely assembled, functionally tested, and calibrated in our best-inclass metrology labs. Nanometer-level system accuracy can only be achieved under stringent environmental conditions, calibrating with the best test equipment, using the highestprecision mechanical elements, and utilizing the ULTRA software capabilities of Aerotech s industry-leading controls. By implementing ULTRA dynamic trajectory calibration with the ANTXY, we are able to produce guaranteed two-dimensional accuracies of ±5 nm or better. The plots provided in the specifications illustrate performance differences between a standard ANTXY and the ULTRA version. Straightness errors, orthogonality errors, and accuracy errors caused by stage yawing are virtually eliminated.
