Because ALAR stages use direct-drive torque motors, they are free from backlash, vibration, and excessive wear commonly associated with gear-driven stages, and they are also capable of much higher speeds and accelerations. These advantages translate to higher system accuracy, repeatability, and longevity, as well as greater throughput. Users can more precisely manufacture, inspect, or process more parts in less time, leading to lower operating costs and higher profits.<\/p>\n<h4>Brushless, Slotless Direct-Drive Motors<\/h4>\n<p>Aerotech\u2019s brushless, direct-drive motors are featured in all ALAR stages. Because there are neither brushes to wear, nor gear trains or couplings to maintain, ALAR stages are capable of high speeds and accelerations, plus consistent, stable performance over time with zero backlash, windup, or hysteresis. Further, ALAR motors are both slotless and ironless, thereby eliminating cogging and torque ripple to deliver exceptionally smooth motion. ALAR stages are ideal for applications requiring outstanding contoured motion, smooth scan velocities, and precise incremental steps.<\/p>\n<h4>Extreme Torque, Precision Rotation<\/h4>\n<p>ALAR-XP motors are based on Aerotech\u2019s powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/aerotech.com\/product\/motors\/blmx-series-linear-motor\/\">BLMX-series<\/a>, which deliver the highest force output of any commercially available brushless, slotless, ironless motor. Traditional higher torque solutions typically involve either gear trains or slotted, iron-core motors, which are both detrimental to achieving high-precision positioning and velocity performance. ALAR-XP is a game-changer because it enables users to achieve high torque output without compromising the quality of motion. Eliminating the need to make the trade-off between torque and precision allows systems designers.<\/p>\n<h4>Flexible Configurations for Simplified Integration<\/h4>\n<p>ALAR-XP is offered with features and options that facilitate easy integration into multi-axis motion systems and subsystems. It is available with clear-aperture diameters of 250 mm or 325 mm, and also a variety of feedback options including analog 1 Vpp, digital RS422, and absolute encoders. Continuous 360-degree travel is standard, with available limited-travel options ranging from 10 degrees to 340 degrees. For each model, there are two motor options depending on the amount of torque needed. ALAR-XP stages can even be adapted for use in vacuum environments.<\/p>\n<h4>Applications<\/h4>\n<p>Common applications for ALAR-XP stages include single- and multi-axis sensor testing, missile seeker testing, antenna testing, inertial navigation device testing, opto-electronics alignment and testing, and high-accuracy laser machining. ALAR-XP stages can also be configured as multi-axis gimbals. The large-diameter clear aperture and powerful direct-drive motor make ALAR-XP a better performing alternative to more traditional worm-gear stages or even direct-drive stages with slotted iron-core motors, especially for applications requiring both high torque output and ultraprecise motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ALAR family of direct-drive, large-aperture rotary stages provides superior angular positioning and velocity control.
