Aerotech's new website is a complete resource for engineering designers who need detailed information on precision motion controls and positioning mechanics. With a logical and easy-to-use menu system and a powerful search facility, the website is essentially an online catalogue for the entire Aerotech product range plus a thorough engineering reference for high throughput, high precision positioning systems. The site also serves as a download centre for brochures, manuals, CAD drawings and software revisions.
Aerotech designs and manufactures high performance motion control and positioning systems for global customers in industry and research. A wide range of standard products and the ability to supply engineered solutions provides the critical enabling technology for many of today's most demanding applications. Aerotech leads the field in linear and rotary direct drive technology, motion controls and mechatronics design, delivering high throughput, multi-axis positioning systems with micron to nanometre levels of accuracy.
Aerotech's website is divided into six main sections on Products, Markets, Engineered systems, Engineering Reference, Software/Manuals, CADs/3D Models and includes a comprehensive site index.
Exploring the Products section, users will find several main sub-categories, each with a detailed selection guide. One more mouse click finds individual product ranges broken down into pages covering a full description, specification, dimensions and order information - all available for download in comprehensive PDF brochure. 2D and 3D CAD downloads are also available for all products in a wide range of formats.
The Markets section lists several application areas for Aerotech products, each with a brief resume of experience and expertise available. Supported by PDF view or download of relevant 'Applications Solutions' brochures, which serve as a useful resource for each industry, the section will be of considerable interest to automation systems designers and integrators. Markets listed include medical, semiconductor and flat panel, optics, automotive, data storage, laser processing, military/aerospace, electronic manufacturing, assembly, imaging, packaging, and many others.
The Engineering Reference guides the visitor through linear and rotary stage terminology, accuracy, resolution and other metrology issues as well as a detailed overview of competing technologies for linear and rotary motion. A useful glossary of terms and definitions for high precision positioning and motion control systems is also included.
