Ultra-precise rotary tables
The AP series consists of ultra-precision rotary tables designed for precision inspection, metrology and test applications.
The AP range is designed as a non-contact system, with all influences that could affect the achievement of optimum rotational accuracy removed. The rotating elements are supported by ultra-precise hydrostatic air bearings and are not subject to the disturbances associated with gear drives.
The AP Series features set new standards for precision, flexibility and performance in a wide variety of calibration and inspection applications.
High precision air bearingsThe AP Series uses ultra-precision hydrostatic air bearings to provide exceptional motion geometry.
Process Reference StandardSub-micron circular geometry and sub-arcsecond positioning accuracy reduce process measurement inaccuracies to a level that makes the AP Series your measurement reference standard.
High Load CapacityThe sophisticated design of the AP Series bearing assembly ensures not only the highest possible accuracy, but also a very high load capacity.
Compatible with other measuring instrumentsThanks to its compatibility, the AP Series can be easily integrated into a wide range of metrology applications.
The features of the AP Series are designed to help you get the job done.
Base with air cushionAir cushions can be incorporated into the base to allow the rotary table to glide effortlessly over smooth, flat surfaces.
Technology with direct driveA direct drive motor is located on the axis next to the angle encoder, providing exceptional resolution and positioning stability.
Axia motion controlControl the AP series directly from our specially designed Axia NC controller, which offers high stability.
Powerful clampingThe direct drive motor holds the rotary table in position during the measurement process.
Contactless rotation The AP series is designed as a non-contact system, which means it is not subject to any interference associated with gear drives that could affect the achievement of optimum rotation accuracy.
