LAB-R Rectangular

ABTech designed these ultra-precision linear air bearing boxway slides with a fully preloaded air bearing carriage that provides resistance to offset loading, a low profile and the stiffness to support heavier loads with increased accuracy. The tight form geometry control of the linear box rails and the central placement of the optional linear drive ensure both accuracy and minimal offset errors. Carriages are 6 inches (150mm) to 10 inches (250mm) wide, and rail lengths are available up to 42 inches (1067mm) for extended travel.

OPTIONS

Aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic or granite rails; aluminum or stainless steel carriages; fully supported or end supported rail mounting; fully constrained, magnetic or vacuum preloaded carriage designs; vertical, horizontal or stacked configurations.

ACCESSORIES

High-resolution optical encoders (available with millions of counts per inch); direct drive brushless DC motors (with a wide range of motor, torque and load sizing); drive amplifiers and programmable controllers; end stops (fixed or pneumatic); bellows or solid way covers; cable management systems.

ACCURACY CLASSES

• A1 Accuracy Class: 5.0 micro-inches/inch (0.125 microns/25mm)
• A2 Accuracy Class: 15.0 micro-inches/inch (0.375 microns/25mm)
  Note: Granite rail options are offered with A2 accuracy only

APPLICATIONS

Precision machining and grinding, form and dimensional metrology, tooling or part automation, wafer scanning and computer-to-plate systems.
