Page 7: Chapter 1: Overview
ABL8000 User's Manual Overview Chapter 1: Overview This manual describes Aerotech’s ABL8000 series of air bearing positioning stages. Figure 1-1 shows a typ- ical ABL8000 positioning stage. The ABL8000 series stages supports travel distances ranging from 200 mm to 1000 mm. The -LC con- struction of the ABL8000 has a long carriage that is optimized for load capacity and stiffness, and it is typ- ically used as the lower axis of an XY stage stack. -
Page 8: Standard Features
The brushless linear motor uses an ironless forcer, which means there is zero cogging and no attractive forces – resulting in unsurpassed smoothness of motion. This is especially useful in applications where velocity control is important. Figure 1-2: ABL8000 Series Stage Chapter 1 www.aerotech.com... -
Page 9: Optional Features
1.1.1. Optional Features The ABL8000 can be readily customized to meet the needs of individual applications. Common examples include cable management for stage-mounted payloads, custom tabletops, and granite bases. Contact the Aerotech factory for details.

Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping. Set the ABL8000 on a smooth, flat, and clean surface. -
Page 17: Preparing The Mounting Surface
If machining is required to achieve the desired flatness, it should be performed on the mounting surface rather than the ABL8000 base. Shimming should be avoided if possible. If shimming is required, it should be minimized to improve the rigidity of the system. www.aerotech.com Chapter 2... -

Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the ABL8000 is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting a stage to the appro- priate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components usually indicate the appro- priate connections. -
